Default Folding or feathering propleller, practical experience?

I have a three bladed "flexo-fold" prop. Seems fine and I have had nor
problem with reverse (not down to the prop anyway!).

My prop is a fixed, three-bladed type. It has less drag than any folding
or feathering prop ever made. As a matter of fact, it has no drag at all
when under sail. It never needs to be cleaned of marine growth and it
never needs anti-fouling paint. It costs about a hundred dollars. It
weighs less than a pound. It can be removed and re-installed in about
two minutes. It is clearly superior in every way to any folding or
feathering propeller.
