I was just...
.... poking you guys... :D
(with my comment automatic vs manual transmission) As already mentioned, I bet this post is just to poke us... ;) |
HP=TxR
Since HP=Torque X RPM, I like to think of the blue and black knobs as 2 ways to add or subtract power, together or individually...
Darn handy and works every time it's tried... |

Constant speed prop just gives you some extra versatility. Depends on the operator if that is worth the cost. To each their own.

It's really simple.
Do you want great performance at a lower cost, or do you want maximum performance and are willing to pay the difference. Excellent results either way.

Flying out of mountain airports the CS prop can be VERY useful.

Stupid question
What setting will slow down an airplane with CD, blue knob all the way forward or all the way back?

Blue knob pulled back results in coarse pitch and max glide. |
C/S control
C/S Prop control:
Forward: Flatens the pitch for take off, climb or slowing. Back/out: Increases the pitch for high speed cruise/extended glide. |
Another stupid question, if I want To slow down in circuit and move blue knob all the way forward, the engine's rpm will go up. Can it in any way damage the engine due to over reving? Same would apply in formation in a dive!
