DUC also has this fixed pitch prop that (seemingly magically) adjusts pitch to differing loads. maybe the effective pitch change is somewhat lesser than a complex inflight adjustable, simply sounds like the best of both worlds
(what's a 'constant speed' effect mean then? this speeds up both takeoff/cruise compared to a fixed pitch, right)

Re: 700T install.
Constant speed generally means that the prop has the pitch varied according to the load, and has a mechanism, (even Ivo does) to keep the prop load right where you want it. The non-constant speed, (no feedback controller) are just fine for us cheaper type. Does anyone know if the Aero hub able to fit a 503 prop flange? Oh, by the way, I’m still drooling about the possibility of changing the 52 hp 503 out for the 54 hp Zero electric package. So what if the batteries are a little heavy. I’m a little skinny and can afford an extra pound or two. I’ve also stumbled across an ev hot-rod site that has huge motors, controllers and batteries. Maybe the hot rodders will be the ones to get us cheaper electric power as they strive to have the fastest rides around.
