Propeller Feather Gates.
Gentle Aviators:
My '68 T337C doesn't appear to have feather gates on the prop controls. The maintenance manual and quadrant placard claim the prop controls should travel back to the gate, then you should have to pull the prop controls up over the gate in order to move them back a little further to feather the props. Mine travel backwards until approx. 1/4 inch short of the rear end of travel wall, then the last 1/4 inch (without having to pull the prop controls up over any gate) feathers the props.
Do ya'll have feather gates? Do they still work? Does it make any difference whether they work or not, that is, is their absence anything to worry about, so long as the props feather OK?
