So,Doodles, what you are saying, is that unless the blades are totally
flat, the term "feathering" can not be used?

the blades are curved, and rather dramatically so.




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?

Well, golly, gee, Doodles, I'm impressed. A simple direct answer to a
simple direct question.
Simply stated, for those who live in the real world of boating and
propellors, when discussing "Feathering" props with Doodles, keep in
mind that if there is any curvature or cupping to the blades, then you
will have to determine and use the "Doodles terminology" for this blade
and condition, as it does not fully meet the requirements of "Doodles
terminology" and is thus unacceptable usage.
