J13 Serenity Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Hello! Does anybody knows how the propeller feathering works? Usually, on multiengine, there is some kind of additional feathering pumps or so... In my testing, even if the engine was stopped, propeller could still be feathered and unfeathered. But when my mosquito had no battery and no generator, the feathering did not work. It might be a bug, or my misunderstanding But is seems like the feathering requires electricity There is no info on this in the manuals I've found May be somebody here knows the truth? Thank you
saburo_cz Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Yes, the feathering requires elecricity. Each propeller has independent feathering pump driven by electrical motor which is supplied from batery (generator).
