You are correct. I was equating a feathering prop with a constant speed
prop, and it's not the same... My mistake, sorry.

That's true, Judah, but by definition, a constant-speed prop is not
fixed pitch.

Otherwise, you are correct. I cannot think of any fixed pitch trainer
that would offer feathering of the prop.

I have not flown a SE plane with a constant-speed prop which offers
feathering of the prop. It was my understanding that the control
mechanism differed from that installed in ME constant speed props.

I wouldn't want to make the statement they don't exist. I'm just
not aware of any.
