Nicely put Bliss.

Just to simplify even more on your example: this is equivalent to driving up the hill vs. driving on the straight and level road. To achieve the same RPM, or lets say speed (in the same gear) - you will "flour" the pedal when driving up the hill vs. gently press it when driving on a normal and level road.

Unless there is a gearbox between the engine and the prop, I should think so too.
