Are these even still in production?  The manual makes reference to
"C.A.A. approved installation"  It's been a few years since we've
we've had such an entity.

i have always wondered why these props weren't more popular.  it seems to me that a most planes really need only two speeds, climb and cruise.  i'm not sure how this prop works at regulating the correct pitch.  there is no explanation for their various models of automatic, manual, and hydraulic and why the different operating modes.  i almost bought a used one at sun-n-fun once until i realized the blades were of different length!

i believe the mooney mite had a prop that was manually adjustable, with a big crank on the panel.  did these work well?  are they heavy?    kevin
