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

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.

G Isn't it great how easily you can look up these simple definitions,
Doodles?
Isn't it a shame that so many people allow these slight variations to
the pure and simple definitions of your life to totally corrupt the
English language?

G Knowing the "term" correctly, is one thing. Being able to apply the
term to various situations seems to be beyond your abilities.
I'd hate to see what you'd do if I sent you to stand by the "forward
spring".

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"?

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.

Even the definition of feathering that you yourself brought into this
discussion fits the autoprop.
