What happened to the proppitchlevers in the video?

Post by the Dutchman »

..the competition video clearly showed two levers with yellow knobs next to the throttle,so is this only on a perticular model?

Good eye, Dutchman. These propeller levers were one of the key to the contest: the A-0 version has got these levers, the later versions havn't got them.
BTW, the levers were non functional - prop pitch was controlled by thumb switches on the throttle grip. In later versions the levers were removed.
