a feathering valve system for modulating the fluid inflow to a selected one of first and second chambers of a movable biased assembly . a controller is electrically coupled to a first and second solenoid operated pilot valve assemblies for selectively maintaining the pilot valve assemblies in a valve closed state without bleed flow through the pilot orifices or supplying a predetermined value electrical signal to either , but not both , of the valve assemblies for actuating one of the assemblies to an open position related to the value of the signal . fluid under a substantially constant pilot pressure is applied under the poppets of both valve assemblies . fluid flow is taken from above the poppet of an actuated valve assembly to a respective chamber whereby the movable assembly moves to a position which is a function of the actuating signal value .
