1685FCC Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 All, Got a question for some of you. I was asked today what the blade angle was when we put the prop on the cuff for windmill taxi starts? I didn't have a clue, but was curious if it is above the pitchlock range (25-55 degrees)? Inquiring minds are curious. Laters! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoif Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 If i recall correctly on the cuff was used for windmill taxi starts and it was set at the flight idle position. About 34 deg. Zak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I was thinking it was above the pitch lock regulator. Thanks Raven! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
