      When I took flight training with Charlie Kohler I clearly remember that 
he taught me to pull out the prop (to coarse pitch) to improve gliding 
capablities when there is an engine failure.  I am wondering if the prop 
windmilling would provide enough oil pressure to enable changing the prop 
pitch.   Perhaps if Charlie or others reading this have the answer, I'd love 
to hear it.
