Propeller Feathering

[Howard wise]

I'm going to throw this out to the group, to see if anybody has had more luck at finding a unit which will feather the propeller when the motor stops.
The only item I have found is on a german site:

Problem is I don't understand it, is it a commercial unit or been built in the workshop?
Does anybody know if you can buy a unit which would fit a 1/4 scale ASK14?

PM Noel Rummers on this forum, he may be able to help you.

Thanks Cliff, maybe somebody out there, may have seen plans, or drawings of mechanism to produce the hub.

Thanks Spike, this is exactly what I was looking for
All I need to do now, is to get my best mate to make it !!!

[Howard wise]

Just out of interest, has anybody see an commercial unit you can purchase on any websites worldwide?

[Howard wise]

Well this is going to be interesting, I am going to try and put one of these together. It won't be a fantastic scale work of art like Noel's, but I am going to see if we can put something together that works by buying the parts. I have found some bevel gears on Ebay that will work, and am currently looking for a suitable spinner that can be adapted. A new backplate will need to be made to fit the mechanism to.
