Just FYI.....
The K7NV/Green Heron Prop Pitch Remote Power Unit (RPU) & Controller has all
the functionality of the Standard Prop Pitch Controller.
I.E. all ramping & speed controls, computer control, remote over
internet.....etc.
If you are interested in the RPU system, information is available.......just
ask for it!
But, you can start here http://www.k7nv.com/proppitch/id37.htm

P.S. Hope to see some of you @ Visalia & Dayton ;-)

I have the M2 box for my Kurt's prop pitch - the BOX has been pretty
reliable..... and is much cheaper to ship back and forth than the prop pitch
assembly :^(
I also have the old M2 box for my Orion rotor - the main difference between the
boxes is the transformer.
You can download from M2 the schematics and compare.
The instructions and VERY sketchy schematics for the Green Heron remote
controlled box indicate that you lose the ramp up/ ramp down feature (no pulse
control) with the remote box. The ramp up / ramp down
feature is even more desirable for big antennas and rotors than for small ones
that don't need the remote
power box.
