The prop cares. No idea why they didn't just program it to maintain 80% to a lower altitude.
While you call in noise complaints?I live on the Bayou by Pensacola International... heheh.... I see and hear you guys going PA's from time to time. Cool stuff to watch with a beverage in my hand and gut, and sitting on the outdoor recliner...
Interesting. I wonder what causes the stress (different aerodynamics from the airframe, bigger prop/more blades, etc).
And if it spins to the right, if I'm not mistaken.
Unless the PA's are in Hornets, at 0400, I am fine with it...
You can spin both left and right. I did both in contacts.

Huh. We were told in ground school that it does something weird to oil pressure.

Additionally, while not prop related...the book says 2-3 turns per second at 4-500' lost per turn. In a full spin, that's 10k/min descent rate. Never heard it mentioned, but staying above 10k keeps you in the "minute to live" window.
