Converting from constant speed propeller to fixed pitch

[jetnut]

Can anyone tell me what is involved in converting an engine with a constant speed prop to fixed pitch?

I’m looking at a Starduster that has a constant speed prop that has the AD for a recurring inspection of the prop hub. I really would like to convert to fixed pitch with a Catto 3 blade if possible. I’m just looking for a simple setup and really don’t want to fool with a constant speed.

I have plenty of experience and know how to fly constant speed but just want to avoid having the recurring inspection and added complexity.

Thoughts?
