The first thing you need to do is devise a means of starting the machine off load as this doesn't happen automatically as with a battery. When the prop is up to speed then you need to add load to keep the prop near the peak of its power curve.
A fixed value resistor will not give a good match. If you choose a value to suit low winds then the prop will run away in high winds. If you choose a value to suit high winds then it will stall out when the wind drops.
You can switch in resistors in a few stages as the speed increases if you want a simple scheme. For a more elegant solution you could use something like a buck converter with the pwm adjusted to load a fixed resistor proportional to the cube law.
There is a lot of latitude as the prop will not change efficiency much if it runs above or below its ideal tsr. You could just simulate a battery with a constant voltage clamp but there is no reason to drag the performance down to that level when you have the ability to probably get 3 times the output of a normal battery charging machine.
If you devise a way to start off load then a 2 step load may be good enough and speed is the obvious choice for the switching signal. If you must insist on it starting against load then the first load step will probably be too small to do much loading and you will need 3 steps.
If the frequency and voltage is high then there is the possibility of using series capacitors with a fixed value resistor but the capacitor values are usually very inconvenient, if your fear of electronics is great enough then it may have some attraction.
