Wonder if there are variable pitch (controlled via RC) for small props (e.g. 22")

or a heli setup... I've seen some variable pitch setups that basically use a pitch slider and swashplate from a rc heli... no hydralics, just one extra servo.

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.
