Prop Control on Startup
Regarding the prop control when starting. I've seen information that suggests it should be set to manual low pitch and I've seen info that says set it to auto and high pitch. Or maybe we're meant to manually set it to low pitch, then set the switch to auto before starting? That's what the checklist and procedures manual (page 32) seems to imply.

ChipperLuna I know what you're referring to and I've seen the same info. I just keep the prop in Auto when I start my P-40.

Re: Prop Control on Startup
Thank you both for chiming in. Yea, that's what I've taken to doing myself; I just leave it on Auto. I wonder what the reason for moving it to manual low would be? Maybe so you can check that the pitch control mechanism is working before you start it?
