So,Doodles, what you are saying, is that unless the blades are totally

otn

let me help improve, over the knee, with your understanding of English
words.

v. feath·ered, feath·er·ing, feath·ers

v. tr.
To turn (an oar blade) almost horizontal as it is carried back after each
stroke.

To alter the pitch of (a propeller) so that the chords of the blades are
parallel with the line of flight.
