I did contact Jiri regarding the use of the 3000/3W with a 912S and here is his response "Dear Malcolm, I recommend you to use the three bladed propeller type SR 3000/3 - diameter 1650mm. We made the special propeller for David - it means the SR 3000/3W - diameter 1650mm but it works on the 914turbo only. David prefered the twisted blades due to high altitude flying. Double bladed propeller type SR 3000/2W - but the diameter 1650mm - I dont have any experience with this shorter diameter. Could you contact our UK partner Mr Kevin Dilks, please ? Best regards Jiri" I don't understand why the 3W would not work with the 912S and also the reference to Dave's high altitude flying but there you go, Im still pondering. thoughts anyone?

Interesting to see then that my arguments are supported by Mark Burton (manufacturer of the controller) and some others. Your arguments limp, because numerous people have now tried to explain that faulty microswitches can not be responsible for your crash, and you still haven't got the clue. > In very normal life the controller will run until the limit switches are > opened. Wrong again. The controller will run until the target RPM has been reached. It has nothing to do with micro-switches at all. If a micro switch opens when you reach the desired RPM then there is a grave error in the whole setup. It is similar to trying to trim the airplane and the trim servo reaches its end and cuts the power. If you have to trim the airplane always to the end limiter, you'd better start checking a few things. The micro switches should only open if for some reason the controller tries to move the pitch outside the designed area. > Is there somebody out there who can explain to this poor soul how it is > supposed to work? There are numerous people now trying to explain a few basic things, like that broken micro switches can never cause the CB to blow and/or make the prop go into a non-flyable state. Maybe you should read more carefully what these people are trying to explain.
