Feathering Propeller Systems for Light-Sport Aircraft Powered Gliders

View Comment

Allowing the feathering of the prop on the light sport motorglider I fly would be benificial to me. It would enable me to generate my own personal glider polar graph that would reflect the added weight of the electronics installed and the prop feathering would allow me to take maximum advantage of the best glide ratio for this aircraft. The better the glide ratio, the greater the potential for a safer flight.
