I'm taking delivery today of my first aircraft and it had a constant speed
prop. I have only flown fixed props thus far. I want to have as much
understanding of the c-s prop as possible before I get with my instructor. I
understand the basic difference in what the controls do, but I don't really
have a good understanding of the hows and whys of flying with them. Any
general information, explanations, and tips would be greatly appreciated.
