Those things only affect the magnitude of the drag which I think we all quite clearly understand will vary with the propellor/rotor geometry and the fluid. However, they have nothing to do with which of a freewheeling or fixed prop/rotor has most drag.

Have taken the time to check some propellor designers - they also say lock the prop for less drag.

This is becoming a drag so I think I will go and freewheel somewhere else.

Actually they do. However I, for one, lock my prop because I can't stand the racket. :)

(How do I put those yellow 'smiley' things in here?)
