Paul, how do you implement the constant speed aspect or is your intention simply
variable pitch?

Peter.

Can be done the way Airmaster does it with a single chip computer.
You measure the RPM of the engine and up the pitch if the RPM
is increasing. This could get real sophisticated by measuring 
air speed as well. 

I like to keep it simple with a double throw
switch on the instrument panel. Up for more pitch and down for less.

BTW if the  system fails the pitch stays were it was.
