Moving to a CS prop, save for the need to include RPM settings in your checks, is a bit of a non-event. There maybe some issues regarding full power in relation to RPM setting. Some (I imagine all) types generate tremendous torque and hence strain on the crank if full power applied with cruise RPM settings. Something to be aware of for climbs as well as the usual general handling and go-around scenarios.

Just be sure you understand the PoH, especially for procedures regarding run-up checks, prop and power combinations, forced landings and prop overspeeds.
