Kelly, I was thinking mounting it vertical. Low pitch down, High pitch up ? same with the switch.

Bulent,
   Forgot to note that you need to label one side of the ammeter "pitch increase"
and the other side "pitch decrease"......With a single sweep ammeter you would
not always know where you were in pitch if you forgot which way your switch
was wired ("Now was that up or down for more pitch??")......

Bulent,
   When prop is at midpoint of pitch there is essentially no load on the motor.
When you add pitch the ammeter needle swings one way (from 0 to ? amps).
When you reduce pitch you are reversing polarity of the D.C. motor and it
turns opposite direction and loads the ammeter to the opposite side........
