Re: Fw 190 VDM propeller blade types
propeller with weights were used on Antons A8-9(with 801D) equipped with fuselage fueltank. it was done to compensate the CG (like moving the ETC 15cm forward), the A8 field-moded without the rear tank didn't have this prop and also didn't have the ETC.
Those weights have nothing to do with the constant speed, as the the prop was comanded by a hydraulical mecanism by the kommandogerrat with an electric back-up for manual pitch control to be used by the pilot in case of a defect in the constant speed mecanism or the kommandogerrat.
ps: sorry for my poor english.
