Buley, Just so you have the frame of reference firmly in your mind.  For example, you could  either have the amp meter labeled with the first order effect  - Lower Pitch /Higher Pitch   or second order effect  Higher RPM/Lower RPM.  Since it is engine rpm that I would be primarily interested in, I (if I had a variable pitch prop) might label the meter with Higher RPM/Lower RPM or perhaps Increase RPM/Decrease RPM rather than lower pitch/higher pitch (the latter requires some mental manipulation).  Just a point of view.

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........
