Hi Paul,

Did enyone ever hear of cavitation?  Think about it.  When not moving there
is a negative pressure (don't like the word vacuum) in front of the prop.
Moving
forward gives the prop the ability to 'come in'.  Just think about a boat
propeller.
My old two blade on the LongEz had a definate kick as it 'came in'.  Just
watch your tach.

Fly fast, land slow.
