=0A =0A=0AHi Jim,=0AHard to diagnose your problem with the inf
o you have given, but I would like to venture the suggesti
on that once you have fixed the problem (whatever that may
turn out to be) that you refrain from using the PV 50 in
auto, except perhaps for take off and landing. =0AThe dr
ive motor used on the PV50 is a beautiful Swiss made motor
but was designed for use on 9 volt systems. In the P
V 50 installation it runs on 12 volts. experience has sho
wn that the motors do not last that long (perhaps 300 hrs
if you are lucky). This short life is much further exacerbat
ed if the controller is run in auto as it will be consta
ntly making small corrections winding the blades back and forw
ard.=0AAs for your problem I think the first thing to try
is establish if the motor is still functioning. To establish
this remove your spinner to gain access to the motor. It i
s the long 1=9D approx. dia cylinder which sticks out
forward of everything else. On the front end there are tw
o terminals. Before proceeding to the next stage ensure you
have isolated the prop electrics from the a/c electrical syste
m. Ie switched it off and pulled the breaker.=0ANow use a
little 9 volt dry cell battery and connect it to the te
rminals of the motor. No matter the polarity. The motor s
hould run if it is good. Caution not to run it for mo
re than a second or so. Try reversing the polarity it s
hould run the other direction if the motor is good. =0AIf
the motor is good we need to search further for your pr
oblem. If the motor does not run then we know what we
need to replace.=0AIf you wish please advise results.=0A=0A=0APete

"g-fizy" <jim.davis1@me.com>=0A=0AHi all i am having a few probl
ems with my pv50 prop ,it does not seem to move ,take of
f is ok but as soon as i start to get to about 500 f
t the engine speed seems to go uncontrolled ,the controller
seems not to be doing anything =0Ait displays a change in
pitch but i do not think that the actual prop pitch mot
or is moving , the smart avionics controller manual says
you can adjust the prop with out the engine running ,I am
guessing that if you put the controller in manual mode and
adjust the pitch the motor should move,but nothing happens
,please can some one confirm this ,as i dont fancy fault f
inding with a spinning prop ,or has anyone got any ideas o
n fault finding .Please let me know =0A=0Athanks jim=0A=0A------
