"2, The instument board pp. change lever has labels and positions for groBer and kleiner Drehzahl (increase/decrease rpm) settings but the real one had an extra bottom position: Segelstellung. This was fixed, ie. the lever stayed there and keep the propeller in feathered position when set, explicetely for the purpose of freeing him from the burden of having the keep pressing the lever all the time1!"
And the Devs were made aware of precisely this a while ago ... so hopefully a further fix will ensue.
Mind you I cant think of too many occasions when you would want to feather a prop in a single engine aeroplane. Perhaps in the case of a failed engine and you are trying to minimise drag to increase your gliding range.
