constant speed prop for rotarys
Good point, Rusty. When is too much performance
really too much {:>). I would certainly be interested in a
light weight, inexpensive variable pitch prop. Heck, I even developed a
controller for an electric prop that you could preset "optimum" prop rpms for
take-off, climb, cruise and descent. Unfortunately it never got tested
and the intended prop is apparently now in limbo.

Additionally, with his RV-4 hitting over 2000 fpm ROC
with a fix pitch wooden prop, I would surmise that he probably did see much
personal benefit from adding extra weight, incurring the additional cost of
any type of CS prop. Just my guess of course.
For
something there's no need for, I sure hear him dreaming about how
nice a CS prop would be on his RV-8 :-)
