RE: Variable Pitch Prop
Yes, I have seen ( here in rcuniverse) pictures of a variable pitcht 3-blade prop on a 100" wingspan turboprop Tucano build by someone in Austria. You should search for tucano, or turboprop or even variable pitch. Sorry for not being more specific. Good luck.

RE: Variable Pitch Prop
There is a place that makes a prop that the pitch may be changed however it must be done while not in motion. I believe it would require some sort of hyraulic pressure to change the pitch when airborne.

RE: Variable Pitch Prop
Not bad.
Don't really fancy the helicopter setup ..... might get really flimsy at higher revs right?
But I do like adjusting the pitch on the fly.
Wonder if there are ready made systems that we could buy.
