Hi everybody; first post, woo-hoo!

This thread draw my attention.

You said that, with increasing aircraft pitch, there's an altitude gain, and an airspeed reduction, so the propeller governor would increase blade angle to maintain an specific RPM; the opposite for an aircraft decreasing pitch. So, my question is this: Do you have in the cockpit any way to check for the blade's angle of attack? Something like an AoA sensor gauge, or do the prop (or condition) levers move (not likely, me thinks, since the governor works on oil pressure, and the lever tells the governor which speed it wants via the weights, am I right?)?

Thanks in advance!
