Some where I thought that in cruse there was two pitch angles that would give you the same airspeed....one a high angle and more drag (more power needed) and the other a low angle less drag (less power needed)......I mentioned "back side of the power curve" to my friend but in order to convince him would need a nice pretty graph. Or perhaps he is right in that there is only one pitch angle for any airspeed and getting up on the step is a myth.....any links out there?
