I have a HO-360B1B 180HP helicopter engine turning a fixed pitch prop. I hope to convert it to support a CS prop. Does anyone know if it's possible to install the plug in
the crank without tearing down the engine and removing the crank. I think it would be possible but I'm hoping someone actually knows...
Thanks very much,
Brad
Following the 360 variants it doesn't look like your engine has an option for a CS prop.
