Um, you are confused. "Variable Pitch Prop" is a technical term, not
common usage. It does not mean adjustable.


You do realized that all the props in question are constant speed, and
are so called. If they are reversable they are occasionally called
that, in contexts where it matters. Your technical term is used by
nobody who actually uses one. Maybe you are confused.

Well you are either nuts or wrong. I'm guessing its variable.


Have you ever actually used either, or even talked to someone who has
even seen one on a boat? You are the only one who uses the words your
way. An expert who has never been near one. I have never, in 35 years
of useing them, ever heard the actual users use either term. I am
laughing at you.
