How can I control the speed of a pawn that inherits from defaultPawn?

As per title really - 

How do I get at the movement speed so I can change (via blueprint)?  it doesn't seem to be exposed directly but I'm not that familiar with the structure so probably missing something

TIA

As is conventional, posting this question provoked a flash of inspiration. 


The answer is ... 
You don't


Instead, you create a new class derived from Pawn and add a movement controller to that - you can then muck around with it as much as you like

Obscura

Should be in the class defaults. Inherited variables goes there. You can also simply try getting the variable and setting it.

yeah, that's what I thought but couldn't find anything,  I might have missed it though - I don't really know my way round unreal very well.

still - got it working anyway so I'm not looking back
