I'm working on my P51 project and it's powered with a Fairchild ranger 440 in line six. I'm trying to figure out the prop situation, specifically a prop governor. Is there a spot on the engine to drive one? Were these engines ever outfitted with one? If not how does a guy pull off a scale looking prop and make it function appropriately without ordering a custom unit? So far all I've come up with is a Grumman Widgeon looks like it could have been outfitted with constant speed props. I appreciate any advice.
