The RD-1 psru won't work with a cs hydraulic prop. You need a hollow prop shaft fed by the high pressure oil from the
governor pump. It usually gets fed into the shaft by a collar around the
crank with a hole drilled in it and a groove to transfer the oil into
the shaft. Belt driven governor pumps are available (convertor kits). I
think with proper adjustments a power steering type pump of some sort
might also work-just guessing.
I think the Marcotte redrive (if still available) and maybe the
powersport redrive are available with fed shafts.
We need an update on this.

Anyone use a Hartzell, metal prop on the rotary?
I would be very interested in talking or e-mail with anyone out there
on the list that is using or has experience with a constant speed,
hydraulic, metal Hartzell prop.   I'm looking at a prop for my pusher
