Default Why does airspeed change when I adjust the prop?

I have. But it doesn't go into much detail on the fine adjustments of
mixture, throttle, and prop, and their interactions. I think one
reason for this may be that many of the possible adjustments just
aren't that important. This would also explain why so many pilots can
depend on voodoo or tea leaves to determine how they make the
adjustments, and yet they never have any problems.

Now that sort of statement is only going to **** off the people who
have kindly answered your question!!!

For my money it is nice to know the in-depth stuff but it simply isn't
necessary to be an aeronautical expert just to fly a light aircraft!
