I have added some changes to make CS possible in the future but it's not
there yet.  A previous design of the CS ready RD-1 was scrapped when I found
out that conventional CS props operate on oil pressures up to 1200 PSI !!!.
I had incorrectly assumed they were in the range of normal engine oil
pressures.  Back to the drawing board.  It will happen someday but not this
week. (gross understatement).


Hi Tracy,
Has anyone looked at the all-electric CS prop control used in the early Beech Bonanza's (probably
in the 50's)?
Best,
Ernie Kerr
