a little to tickle the needle and 2450 RPM. When it comes time to
descend I do not touch power and just roll in a turn of trim, that gets
me 500 fpm down and an extra 15-20 knots.

I pull the throttle back just enough to maintain the same MP as I come
down (adjusting every 2000 feet or so). If you forget to roll the
throttle back, you'll end up pulling 30" in the pattern.
