You'd then put the prop rpm back at max when you needed more power from the engine for aceleration or for gaining altitude again.
Absolutely correct RP. The devs have stated already that engine management to the extent as WOP has it will be also available in Birds of Steel when played at highest difficulty, however may require an additional input device (keyboard) to be used.
