Hello EveryoneI have noticed in my last few flights that even when the throttles are pulled back into reverse on shutdown that after a few minutes the props are in a very coarse pitch again. I used the unfeather switch several times which put the props in a correct orientation but moments later the props are in a coarse pitch situation again.Does anyone have any idea wha is going on here?CheersBarra

Make sure you're putting the props on the locks properly. The exact numbers are in the manuals, but you have to put them in reverse between 40% and 15%, or something to that effect. You may be doing it too soon or too late.Take a look in the manuals. I believe it is mentioned in the tutorial as well, which is a shorter read.

Adding to Kyle, the blades are actuated with oil pressure which bleeds off slowly and is accurately modelled in the sim. The unfeather switches are simply little oil pump switches to move the blades.

_{Hi GuysHave been flying the J41 for some time now and never had a problem until recently. I do wait till about 40% before going into reverse and once the engines have stopped they are in the right position. I go back some minutes late to see them in a very coarse pitch again.CheersBarra}
