4 out of 5 great lakes prefer Michigan.
I'm moving from the lowly C-172 world into the glorious PA-44 Seminole land and just can't grasp the concept of the internal workings of constant speed props. I get that the Prop Control levers change the pitch using oil pressure and fly weights, etc, but what I can't visualize is,
a. what's really happening inside the spinner and the actual mechanics at play
b. the prop pitch itself and high RPM & low RPM (feather)
I looked at the Seminole MX Manual earlier in the Tech. Talk forum but couldn't find anything that was making it click for me. Does anyone have a good resource to turn my light bulb on?
Thanks in advance!
