Hi Max-DP, yes you need differance training, if you are a LAA member, why not use the LAA PCS Coaching scheme, plenty of coaches that can do the training on your aircraft with a VP prop.

LAA is the new name for the PFA. The LAA has a regional coaching scheme were Instructors with appropriate experience carry out differences training etc in your own aircraft. I am one such Regional Coach.
It is just another option open to people to get this type of training as well as licence revalidation's etc carried out outside of the common school environment.
