I was thinking more about Deakin's suggestion regarding decending from alt without touching the mixture so in effect 25d at 10k becomes very lop at 3k. I dont imagine the manufacturer had that in mind when the engine was designed and since modified and that at least causes me some concern about the casa article having some validity, although, like I said, I have no idea.
