Notice its really easy to fry the engine if you go 12 in combat.
I noticed the same thing, I believe that you cant exceed 3000 RPM for more than 30 seconds or you'll pop the engine. I think there is some user made documentation some place that may cover this.

EDIT....I may have spoke too soon. I went poking through the manual and look what I found.

Never exceed 3,000 rpm.
Trim slightly nose-heavy.
Chop throttle to 0.
Prop around 09:30.
Water flap half-open to fully closed in any weather.
Oil and water temperature: never below 40 degrees
