 Lynn,
 A famous ( by Australian standards) aviator by the name of Dick Smith,
 who was a one time chief of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, once
 used a statement "affordable safety".
 He was referring to airline ops.
 Unless you have more money than you know what to do with, there's a
 limit to how much can spend on stuff, especially in the self funded
 areas of private flying in which some, if not most of us, engage.
 Love the idea of a fully feathering prop, but I am afraid it ain't in
 the rage of affordable safety.
 It is insurance, but I doubt it is cheap insurance.
 Therefore, the next best thing is to set in place procedures which give
 the best option under extreme circumstances.
 Regards
 Dom Crain

 Why don't you just install a feathering prop. That way, with loss of oil
 pressure it automatically goes to feather.
