I explained it three times already, jimmy. ask your homeroom teacher.

jim, the term "feathering" means to twist the blades into a streamline
position with a teeny, tiny, itzy, bitsy, little, small fraction of
the drag presented by blades in operating under power position.

understand now?



yeah, the autoprop turns it's blades, to be parallel to the axis of the
shaft, resulting in less drag than in the fwd or reverse direction,.
How is that not feathering?
