TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Flying Figures with Fixed-Pitch Typ..." 05-05-03, 12:15z  Yipes, this is more complicated than I thought! Up to now, almost all the acro I've been flying has been in types with constant-speed props. You pretty much can set the prop and MP levers and forget about them (leaving only the ailerons, elevator, and rudder to worry about!). But yesterday I went out in my fixed-pitch S-1S and did some loops, spins, and competition turns. I found myself thrashing around hopelessly on the throttle. So my question is this: what do you do with the throttle during the basic (Sportsman) figures? Any advice from current or former S-1S pilots (and you know who you are ) would be appreciated. Tom P.
