Agreed that the implementation of the controls would be FADEC.

The actuation, however, would be the big issue. Variable-pitch props have often had control problems, needing pitchlocks, feathering, etc.

A beautiful replica aircraft and its builder/pilot was lost because of a broken prop counterweight. DEN03FA138
