| Hi guys,|
| I am the brink of buying a Woodcomp 3000/3 Constant Speed prop.
| Not sure though what instruments to fit in the cockpit.
| I personally would go for a manifold pressure in combination with prop
RPM.|
| Any thoughts on this more than welcome.|

Sven,
            Good question - I am planning the same but won't be ready for 
that till early '06. Be pleased to hear of your success. Might be wise to 
talk to David Joyce as one of the first and still using it. I'd be
interested to see what he says.
            Any experience I have tells me RPM and MP are all one needs to 
safely control the engine parameters, provided you know the limits of 
course. The idea was not to overboost, i.e: max MP for RPM in use.  Those 
were memory items in cadet days......
Cheers, Ferg
