Hi,
For those of you who have the Airmaster prop:
I went flying yesterday for the first time in 6 weeks. During the
run-up, I normally check for ignition drop at 4000 rpm, then place the
prop in 'manual', increase pitch until rpms drop to 3500, then place the
switch back to 'auto' and make sure the rpms return to 4000. This time,
when I went back to 'auto', nothing happened (rpms remained at 3500).
Going back to 'manual', I was able to go back to fine pitch and 4000
rpm. Tried again, same thing.
I turned the circuit breaker for the prop controller off and back
on, then tried the test again and it worked this time, i.e. the prop
went back to fine and 4000 rpm when I selected 'auto'.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Any ideas about what the problem was/is?
Regards,
Terry Seaver
