Thanks for the clear story Bud,
[quote:022a4d2f87]The Airmaster has a dedicated manual control which bypasses
everything
to give you electric pitch control and a mechanical stop. Propellers,
such as the Woodcomp, with Beta (reversing) do not have mechanical stops, only
electric. [/quote:022a4d2f87]
Just one correction: The SR 3000 does not have mechanical stops, not on any
non-reversable
or feathering either.
[quote:022a4d2f87]A number of aircraft were lost in the 30's because of runaway
props. Consequently reputable manufactures make sure they have manual backups
and mechanical stops to prevent aircraft loss.[/quote:022a4d2f87]
And i might add that manual backup does not help if the pitch motor belongs in
a toy car.
