cycling prop
I have recently heard that a major engine overhauler has done tests and discovered that deep cycling of constant speed props during run-up is a major stressor on aircraft engines. Causing the connecting rods to actually bend etc. Resulting in undue wear on the engine. They recommend cycling very briefly, allowing only a 50 to 100 rpm drop to ensure proper oiling. Any comments?
