Hey guys I need some questions answered, ASAP. if you have either engine and a fixed pitch prop what are the recommended procedure for deactivating the prop control? I know some have just saftey wired the control lever but anything else? do you install the hubbard plug and/or remove the plunger assm? if not, what are the checks to be sure the plunger is not leaking, time schedule(besides oil dripping from the prop) :evil: ? any experienced mechanics can contribute what they have done in years past. Trying to get the approval for the "B" installation in the 170 series. keep it simple! Ron

In mine there's a plug in the crankshaft and the prop control lever is saftied. That's it.
