Yes there is a McCauley 2 positon prop that is approved for our 170s and it requires this control to actually work. The prop is pretty rare and we only know one person flying one. This prop was not an option from Cessna but I'll bet you could have specified the 2H engine (0-300-B didn't exist at that time) when ordering your Cessna and then have the prop installed. Another interesting fact the Aeromatic Prop approved for our 170s also requires the 2H engine and control though the control is not actually used to control this prop because it is automatic.rydfly wrote:So do I understand correctly that there was an option for some C-145's to have a mechanical prop? I believe my engine is orignal to the airframe, a '53 170B.
Also, when I look at the topic linked in the above post, I don't see any picture attached of what the device should look like. I'd like to have the correct component installed if possible.
