Who is that guy luthier talked about *doing bad things to him* ? 
On a side note: the PP slider having 3 positions for actuating in both directions and leaving it alone may properly represent things now, but it really shouldn't be that way on the 109's water radiator slider. I mean, you use the crank to change it and there is nothing which snaps back to neutral or something. The slider should show the water rad's position, as it currently does on the oil radiator slider. |
This method historically correct, except that the switch has four positions, not three (feather mode is missing now), and 1°-1.5°/second should be its velocity, not 0,3°/s. The speed was good before the hotfix, i don't know what happened.
The small icons (engine info window) signal it only, what you know without it being necessary to look down onto the panels. Your hand on the gas arm, you feel it what his position. Oil radioator is the same. As opposed to these, the water radiator arm you don't know, even if you grab it (it may turn two and quarter times round.). It is necessary to look out onto the wing, the indicator what shows.
The new Prop pitch method causes the same one. The position of the switch does not reveal the accurate value, you must to look at the instrument.
