[C38] Propeller

[Steven Ribble]

Agree with Chuck, like my Maxi prop, but you need to learn how to work it
in reverse. The longer you thrust in reverse, the more walk you have. It
will eventually right itself, but not helpful in tight quarters.

One thing to check is how freely the blades flip. Growth and wear tend to
impact how easily they move. Had mine serviced a year ago and it made a big
difference.
