The battery at the time were not what we we are use to today. This is why it's slow before eng is on and faster after when the circuit is switched to hydrau.

The 109 was an impressive design for it's time.

This has been discussed alrdy extensively and what we hve now is very accurate (in fact a reference for any future sim)

Hi. No, the 109's VDM propeller-pitch has no hidraulic part (reliable, hydraulics damage does not have an effect on it). Because of this slow (compared with the hydraulic PPs).

I thought 41Sqn_Stormcrow writes because of a control bug, but in this he is right, the electrical motors has no delay. It would be necessary to correct the 109 one in so many trifles that I did not notice this.

I'll probably miss the manual prop pitch when the automated systems come out for the later series 109s....

You may switch it off anytime

Huh... I was so sure of me

Thx Tom for the doc (by the way you ruined my Sunday as I hate hving to read electrical scheme )

Work?
