I just tried the default Cessna 172-3D. It climbed out at 2500 rpm (engine rpm) and when I got to 1,500 feet I pushed the nose over to a 45 degree downward pitch and accelerated quickly past the redline and was still accelerating at 155 knots when I pulled up to avoid the obstacle in front of me (a looming planet). The recent release seems to work fine in the above-questioned regard.
