Well Guys continued from my last post here are the final shots, It wasnt really the best of weather to have an Engine failure but when is? The wind was blowing gale force and the nearest Runway was a grass strip but all went ok and got her down in one piece.

If you look closely at the blade angles you will see they are angled into the airflow to give the least amount of drag possible.
Here are 2 pics of the same prop the 2nd one is feathered the 1st is not so you can see the 1st would create alot of drag in the air. Hope that makes sense?
