    Subject: Gerd`s prop trouble
    Hi Group, In case you wonder why i don`t give any news about the testing and breaking in my Lightning: the GT electric CS prop is still giving me trouble. It won`t move the blades for sh&t as soon as I am airborne. On gnd all works fine , even under full throttle and 2600rmp I can move the blades to coarse/low rpm/high spd, but in flight: nada! Even with power off and 1700rpm!! A mystery! If anyone of you has an idea what might cause this you`re welcome to tell me . Even educated guesses are welcome. So can`t go x-country yet - i am limited to my home airfield EDFL and two others close by anyway tilI have some more hrs- and the airspeed gets no higher than 110kts level flt, 2750rpm, 19MAP Other than that she flies fine, I have 8 hours so far. Tomorrow it`s off to MIA for another cruise with Oceania Cruises. The tough life of a retiree! **sigh**! Gerd
