Wobbles when pulling back the RPMs (Read 526 times)

I'm just fooling around with the brand new Milviz Cessna 310.  Great plane, by the way, but that isn't the purpose of this post.
When retarding the RPMs to a climb or cruise configuration, the airplane wobbles quite terribly.  You can see the RPMs wobbling along with the plane momentarily and it takes them a few seconds to settle down into the new setting. The effect is exacerbated a bit by the fact that I have EZDOK, so it really makes those wobbles come alive.
Is this true to real life? I haven't seen this on the Real Air Duke.  Apparently some people have complained about this in the Carenado Seneca, but I don't have that one, so I don't know.
Another way of putting it:  In a real twin, what does it feel like when you pull those RPMs back? (and yes, I always pull the power back first Wink)

Something that many (most) folks aren't aware of is that the "tip tanks" on the C310R are the "main tanks!" The aux tanks are located in the wing lockers.

As a resut of this unique situation, as the fuel sloshes around in the main tanks, the a/c exhibits a sometimes pronounced "dutch roll" even during level flight...  Grin
