Mosquito prop pitch control.
Gentlemen,
Apologies if this is the wrong forum but thought there maybe someone of experience here on the dH Mosquito in the past. The prop pitch controls - fully forward they are marked MAX - now do you know if this means MAX RPM or MAX pitch (which would not be MAX RPM of course)?
I am assuming that as in modern day machines, its MAX RPM rather than MAX pitch, but as there have been some different ways of controlling/naming things in the past I just need to clarify which it is.
Many thanks in advance.

Mosquito prop pitch control
Alex,
The Mosquito Manual is a reproduction of AP 2019B Vol 1. On page 29, Fig 2, there is an illustration of the prop speed control quadrant. Prop RPM DECREASE is to the rear, INCREASE to the front. Vol 1, Section 1 Para 25: PROPELLER CONTROLS says: 'The speed control levers operate in the normal manner'.
Very anorak-y, I know.

dakkg651,
Many thanks for that information.
Project on the go, yes but in software on as an add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and X, not unfortunately the real thing.
There are a few pics of it here:

God it's scary what can be done with computer graphics nowadays. The cockpit pictures look real!!
Now back to the "After the Vulcan what should be next?" topic....... for me undoubtedly the Mosquito.
