This makes me realize, that constant speed prop governors are just that. They 
obviously
do not take the power curve of an engine in account at all. If you look
at the power and torque curves of the 912s and 914 it is clear that at low
power (fuel consumption) settings 5000 rpm is far from optimal. It is really 
inefficient,
more fuel burn, more wear. A real improvement would be if there would
be a more intelligent unit, which would reduce rpm, to stay in line with the
best map. Is there anything available like that or would i have to make it
myself?
