The prop control lever

[DRH]

The Prop Control leaver  will only stay put at Fine.

If I move it down toward  Coarse when I let go of the lever it pops back up to Fine.

Love the plane!!!

Hi DRH,

Can you confirm if you're manipulating the prop by hand or using a throttle quadrant hardware?

I have the same problem.  I'm just trying to move the lever using the mouse.  It just springs back to 'Fine' when released.

FYI I have 'thrustmaster' Airbus stick/throttle combo with prop programmed on two stick buttons for 'prop course/fine a bit.  Works well.

Hello, it's the same for me. This is abnormal. In a "real" Bulldog, the propeller pitch is "full small pitch" (Fine) at takeoff. In cruise, the intake pressure must be adjusted, in economy cruise from 65% to 23 and the rpm 2300. In "fast" cruise at 75%, adjustment to 25 in intake pressure and 2500 in rpm. This gives a stabilized cruising speed of approximately 110 kts and 120 kts respectively. BUT in the Bulldog of Origami, the speed indicated is only 80 kts, whereas it should indicated 110 or 120 kts. This causes an aerobatic anomaly with fanciful speeds. The difference between the recommended speed of 145 kts in aerobatics and the indication of 80 kts is 65 kts!! While really this difference should be at most 35 kts !!! The problem is that to reach Origami's recommended speed (145kts), you have to dive almost vertically to reach it! So the speedometer is FALSE.
