"pulling the prop back" increases drag? Do you mean pulling on the
propeller control knob? How does that increase drag? Maybe you meant that
it reduces power?



No, it doesn't necessarily reduce power.


snipped good stuff about how to operate your engine

No disagreement there. I was trying to give Turbo Arrow a way to get out of his
assertion. Do you support Turbo Arrow's assertion that "pulling the prop back"
increases drag? I didn't think so.
