Yup, Doodles, "various" ..... course now we have to wait and see which
definition ( the simple, complex, or interpretive) you will use to create this argument BG Btw Which line WOULD you go to, to "stand by the fwd spring"? otn JAXAshby wrote: "various", eh?

jim, if you choose to redefine every English word to suit your fancy, there is
no debate possible. green is carrots, rum is gravel, curved prop blades are straight. makes no room for discussion. you bought one and are trying to convince yourself it was a wise "investment". Just like gold will reach $2,000 an ounce six weeks after the election. you are a true-believer, jim, and you pushed the English language around to form it to your convictions. who could debate that?

So what? feathering a prop doesn't require that there be *no* drag, it's a way to reduce drag, not eliminate it. The autoprop blades rotate to parallel to the axis of the shaft, how is that not feathering? The blades rotate until they are inline with the shaft axis, how is this not feathering? take a look at the blades. they rotate and thus *reduce* drag, but they certainly don't "feather". I have, the blades rotate to line up with the axis of the shaft, how is that *not* feathering? -- Jim Richardson http://www.eskimo.com/~warlock If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed...

look up the term "cognitive dissidense" (pardon the terbil spelink, but you ain't gonna look the psychological underpinnings to your behavior anyway) From: Jim Richardson Date: 9/2/2004 4:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: On 01 Sep 2004 11:38:55 GMT, JAXAshby wrote: no it doesn't. take a look at those blades and you will understand, probably. if not, ask any passing yardworker or dockboy to explain it to you.

Subject: What are the pros and cons of a folding prop?
From: Jim Richardson I had hoped you would have a point, and debate it, rather than simply sliding into insults. I guess I was hoping for too much. He had neither a point to make nor the ability or interest to debate it. As per usual, Doodles was just trying to "stir the pot". He probably has less experience with feathering props than I do, and I have none .... only used to "zero pitch" type props. Shen |
no, the chord does. which word don't you understand?
