I am thinking about purchasing a Hartzell for my Legacy but that model is not offered with counter weights or a full feathering option. I heard that one can install a pressure tank to store oil pressure, kind of like a well tank. The tanks has a bladder or piston and spring to store the energy that you can use to feather the prop when all else fails by opening a valve. Thanks Kevin Kossi New York Legacy 70%
