I was thrilled to have the prop control in the Katana because (blush)
cycling the prop on runup sounded (sorta) just like (almost) the "big
planes" on runup with that way-cool prop-cycling noise. 

Hmmm.. pipe in some turbine engine startup sound (yeah, the part when
the igniter does its thing) through the headsets and I'd be in heaven!

Yeah, I have cars with stick shift. Gotta be a control thing. <g>
