A question on variable-pitch, as contrasted with constant-speed, props:
How do you set the pitch for takeoff?  Do you set a pitch that will
not cause the engine to overspeed at full throttle at any airspeed up to
what you intend to use for climb?  Or do you use a flatter pitch at
the beginning of the takeoff roll in order to get more power, reducing
the pitch by hand sometime during the roll?
