Guys,
I had pulled my fixed pitch wood prop off to refinish it and was staring at the plug in the hollow crank. Then I starting thinking about what it would take to put on a constant speed prop. According to the TCDS there is 'no provision for controllable pitch propeller' and I am wondering what exactly that means.
There is a hollow crank with a plug in the front, there is a spot on the accessory case for the governor adaptor.
So is it possible to just put the adaptor and governor on put the correct plugs in the crank and be good to go?
Or are there other internal parts missing? Like a drive gear or the main bearing does not have a hole for the oil in it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
