Feathering Propellors

Dear CLP,
FullCircle here!
Yhe prop is as big or as small as you have space for. The blades all start out big, becuase the Injection Mould tools are expensive. They cut them to suit your installation, and ....Bingo! More thrust than Cynthia Paynes Hips. Don't worry about me, I just ran out of pills, temporarily. Ahem.
 
There again I usually disassemble the prop and polish the whole surface to a mirror finish before adding the grease. I stay in 50 weeks a year and it seems OK to me - touch wood. BTW what happens when the feathering prop sticks with a bit of string round it and you need reverse?
