wslade, when you do your run up before takeoff based on the book, there is no feather? I pull the levers up in high pitch then bring them back to feather. Try leaving the props in high RPM and lift up the lever then pull all the way back (down)

The jet airliners I flew had reverse thruster gates - that doesn't make me like the ones in the Skymaster any better!
