Tom,

I hung a Vari-Prop on mine. Haven't flown yet or even started the motor but The Vari-Prop looks to be a great piece of gear.  I paid 9K a couple of years ago.  The prop uses a slip ring to vary the pitch.  You don't need a hollow shaft.  A very well engineered slick little set up. Works great on Tracy's PSRU.
