Geared Drives 200Z PSRU For Subaru

At the time this was the worlds only Subaru on an RV9A using a hydraulic constant speed prop. This prototype unit has all of the same features of the original Geared Drives PSRU including its own oil reservoir, oil pump and filtration system, drive port for hydraulic prop governor, and flywheel and centrifugal clutch assembly. This airplane with the P2 prototype Geared Drives PSRU can be seen at Sun n Fun Air Show, Lakeland, FL, April 21-26, 2009. Look for the Geared Drives booth N52 for directions the aircraft location.

It is a Subaru auto engine. This is an experimental aircraft with a Subaru conversion and uses a Geared Drives PSRU to convert enine RPM to the proper RPM's to the propeller.

So is it a Subaru fuel pump that they use or a regular RV9A pump used?

@Bagadaboats It has a centrifugal clutch to isolate the engine and prop pulses.

[Bagadaboats]

how can the engine start without the prop moving?
