Flying a E4 I went in a dive on some low cons from 6.5k. down to 4.5k. As the prop pitch can't go lower than 8.30 on the gauge I had to throttle back at 500/550kph cte speed from let say 5.5k with the prop rpm dangerously high at 2500.

As soon as I zoomed up, closing my rad while the speed was still high (to decrease the drag) and gradually increasing pitch the temp skyrocketed in a sec up to peak point where I had a governor failure.

Then my prop was stuck at 9h45 for my entire flight back to base.

I am not sure it's a bug but as I can't understand the logic of both incidents I am reporting this here.
