Prop performance in clouds question

The prop strobing clockwise does not necessarily mean the prop is
slowing down. If you've ever seen a turboprop shut down under the
artificial 60hz strobing lights of an airport apron, you'll see the
prob strobe back and forth as it gradually slows down.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, I figured the clockwise motion wasn't indication of it slowing
down, it was when I was IMC, that it "stopped" or started going
counter clockwise, and then when I popped out, it resumed it's
clockwise motion.

It was "hands off flying" before entering the cloud, smooth inside and
same outside and NO changes in airplane configuration insofar as prop,
mixture or throttle.

Something I can try to experiment in my Sundowner a month down the
road when it gets back in service since I only have a fixed pitch
prop.
