Do you leave the prop feathered while doing a runup on a Corsair (or any
other airplane with a feathering prop)? I wouldn't have thought so.

I don't think the Corsair had a full feathering prop. Wouldn't be any
point and would just add more complexity to an already complex
airplane. Never heard any mention of any WWII pilot feathering the
prop on a Corsair, but I don't know everything.

I don't know everything either (shhh....!!!) but you can't feather the
prop on a Corsair.

Or any other single engien WWII Fighter.

The P-38 had Curtis Electric Propellers that could be feathered.
