Greg,
 
How dificult/expensive would it be to transit from a fixed pitch to  a CS 
propeller?  In other words, suppose that in order to get quickly in  the air, one 
chooses a fixed pitch propeller (assuming they are easier to  get, though I'm 
not sure about that; they are obviously cheper though).   Then in 2-3 years, 
suppose that one realizes that one would  really like to have a CS prop.  Is 
it difficult/expensive to  switch?  My question is probably very silly; I 
really have never  installed a prop.  I'm just looking for  options.



Fairly simple and easy especially if you plan for the governor control on  
your panel when building.   The governor just bolts up (saying  you have the 
room behind the engine if that's where your governor  goes).  A couple plugs on 
the flange end of the crank to  remove/install.  Install the feed line from the 
governor to front of case  (if needed), hook up your pre-planed pitch 
control, and some cowling trimming  may be necessary.  A new W/B needs to be done, 
along with any  paperwork/flight testing for the feds.
