Turbine Commander Engines / Re: When do you go to low RPM on landing?

The Merlin used to have a procedure where you didn't bring them back until turning off the runway, but I think that had something to do with the 4-blade props. The Merlin also had minimal reverse (although didn't need much, because the prop discs were so huge even in Beta!).
If you plan on using reverse, as opposed to just beta, keep the RPM in high until you are done, whenever that is.
