Kevin,

I have a full feathering, counter weighted, three blade Hartzell prop on my
Legacy.

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.


Thanks
