Do I have this right? As the prop control is pushed in the speeder spring tightens and the flyweights move in. which pushes the piston valve down which allows the oil from the engine in and moves the props to a low pitch high rpm.
As the prop control is pulled out the speeder spring loosens which moves the flyweights out pushing the piston valve up allowing the oil from the hub back into the sump.
An over speed condition will cause the fly weights to fly out which will increases the blade angle.
An under speed condition will cause the fly weights to fly in which will decrease the blade angle.
Practicing teaching a commercial student tomorrow and haven't looked over the prop since my ride. Just want to make sure I fully got this stuff so I am not confusing another student.
Thanks
