Is it possible to use an Adjustable Pitch or Feathering Prop?
To-date, we have not found a ground- or air-adjustable propeller that is appropriate for use with the AeroVee. We have instead fixed all of our development focus on light-weight, simple, inexpensive, reliable and high-performance two-blade fixed-pitch wood or wood-core, composite-clad props. Even on the Xenos Motorglider, where many would assume a feathering-prop would be required for optimum soaring efficiency, we have opted instead for slim-profile wood-core, composite-clad Sensenich props that avoid the cost and complexity of feathering props while retaining very low-drag characteristics in engine-off soaring.
