1- General
The propeller HO-V 62 () is a two bladed lightweight propeller with mechanical pitch
change device. It is equipped with a “Take Off Position” and a “Feathering Position”.
It was mainly designed and developed for the use with early generation of powered
gliders.
The propeller HO-V 62 R () is a two bladed lightweight propeller with mechanical
pitch change device. It is equipped with a “Take Off”-, a “Cruise”- and a “Feathering
Position”. It was mainly designed and developed for the use with the second
generation of powered gliders. The additional cruise position improves the flight
cruise performance of the powered glider considerable
The pitch change from the take off- to the cruising position can only be done with the
engine running. The change back from the cruising- to the take off position can be
done either with the engine running or the engine stopped.
The pitch change to the feathering position on both propellers has to be done with
the engine stopped or wind milling.
The tendency of the propeller blades of both propellers is always to return to the take
off position regardless whether the engine is running or stopped.
The propeller blades always return to the take off position if the feathering position
will fail.
In order to get the best propeller efficiency the correct blade angle adjustment is very
important, especially if the propeller blades L160BT are installed. Therefore the
instructions given by the aircraft manufacturer regarding the static RPM setting have
to be followed carefully. A higher static RPM will not automatically give better take off
and climb performance.

The model designation, the serial-No. and the date and number of the inspection are
written on a decal on each blade shank. The serial-No. of the blade is also stamped
into the blade butt face (not visible from outside) and the retaining ring.
The complete designation of a variable pitch propeller is a combination of the
designation of the hub assembly and the blade assembly. Both designations are
separated by a slash mark.
Example: HO-V 62 R / L 160 BT
The serial-No. of the hub is also the serial-No. of the propeller assembly
