That is what you have to do in order to maintain rpm!!!

The pitch must be constantly adjusted to maintain rpm as the speed increases!
If you type it in bold it doesn't make it right. I am not saying you're wrong here (you're not saying anything new here re angine management), you're just completely missing the whole point of this conversation (that is non standard pitch management at high altitudes as described by a LW pilot who has actually been there).

What you're trying to do here is instead of contributing to an interesting topic or even discussing it, you're doing everything possible to prove that you, Crumpp, were right even if you used wrong semantics and therefore said something completely different to actual WWII 109 pilot.

If you're saying that Stainhilper was actually maintaining the rpm even though he was working with the prop pitch lever to get more rpm (here is the catch!) to get a boost from his supercharger above FTH, then you're obviously right and he was maintaining his rpm by rising his rpm for short periods of time.
