I was just wonder how to stop over spinning engines. One one design, I've got the engines on the lowest they can go but they explode anyway! Help!

    Overspeeding is when the engine can't keep up with the airflow, so it usually happens in a steep dive, or if you attach a jet engine as well as props. Lowering your thrust is actually bad, because it slows the engine as well as the plane, so the problem stays. Your best bet is to pull up, if possible. If you've got manual propellor pitch control, you could try adjusting that too, but I don't usually use it so I can't speak to that much

    When flying, don't go all the way to 100 percent
