That definitely makes sense and it's what I do when I'm in planes without auto prop-pitch, I assumed the automatic mechanisms in the German planes would do this more efficiently for me.
In a previous post you were wondering why I keep the engine at maximum power and you seemed to imply that reducing power would somehow generate more speed, I'm guessing you meant prop-pitch, not power?
