690b unfeather propeller

[sobor 18]

I have a new Carenardo Turbo commander 690b and I follow the checklist to start the aircraft. In the starting engine section point 11 it says: -

11.PROPELLERS........................... CLEAR and UNFEATHERED
 

If unfeathered, proceed as follows:

         a. Power Lever..............................................REVERSE

How do you move the power lever into reverse? Mine stay stubbornly at GND IDL

Have you checked out pressing the F2 key?.

Solved my own problem. The Commander is tricky. After start I could not get the props to move from fine pitch to coarse so I could not get the aircraft to move. After much (more) searching I found how to fix it. Move RPM above 85% Power levers down to reverse. I needed to map a key on my joy stick to "Max Reverse Thrust" to do it, then the power levers moved into reverse, and then lower the RPM to normal.
