Lynn Farnsworth Super Legacy #235 TSIO-550 Powered Race #44 -----Original Message----- From: Lancair Mailing List [mailto:lml@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Kevin Kossi Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 8:05 PM To: Lancair Mailing List Subject: [LML] Re: Prop Feathering Does anyone have any experience with the use of pressure reservoirs to place a Prop. in full feathering mode when you have an engine failure or loss of oil pressure? 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.
