Captain, as I remember from my Flight instructor this type of engine she have, you must run up the engine before takeoff,
you exercise the prop control. At a fixed throttle setting, move the control from "high rpm" to "low rpm".
The prop blades will take a bigger "bite" on the air, and even though the engine is still producing about the same HP, the rpm will slow way down.
It's a case of torque increasing due to the aero loading, and rpm decreasing because of the torque.
A fixed-pitch prop is somewhat like a transmission with only one gear. Use the tachometer to set your power during takeoff, cruising, and landing.

Mr Bob thanks you for explaining, and show me the ropes I'm not sure I'll remember all that, all I know better to be a captain. I have faith in you.

Captain, Where we are headed to.
