i have a 1958 comanche with a hartzell prop, i just got the prop overhauled, today when doing my preflight i felt the prop move, and i was able to move the full pitch by hand, got on the plane start it up warm it up and cycle the prop, prop works great, flew to gls prop maintain pitch no events, went back to beaumont check prop after landing and wont move, then in 10 min i was able to move it again, talk to the guy at san antonio propeller ( he overhaul the prop) and he say this prop is not spring loaded so once i land and oil back off the hub i should be able to move it, i being looking many friends planes i never felt a prop that would move the full pitch each way, any wisdom from anyone, props works perfectly tough every person i discuss this is saying they never felt a prop doing that
