RE: why not scale props?
Hobby Lobby used to sell a variable pitch prop for the pattern fliers. Was variable from the transmitter much like the throttle. Was developed in Europe. Couldn't turn a scale prop though. After a couple of seasons they figured out it was a bit difficult changing pitch threw the manuvers. And it didn't always work well. I'm sure there are a few guys out there that may have seen them.
