Constant Speed Prop Explained in Plain English (Start Here!) - Subscribe to Airplane Academy
Most people go straight to the prop governor when trying to learn the constant speed prop and honestly I think that can just confuse you before you understand the broader picture. In this video I explain the why behind constant speed props and how you practically use them.
