what happens if the streamer gets tangeled around your prop and you go deadstick
The streamer is just crepe paper and gets shredded by the prop if it comes near it. However, the string can and does (on
very rare occasions) get wrapped around the prop shaft. This isn't a problem with light-weight cotton string are used. The only time I've seen string cause problems is when using nylon string (VERY BAD!) or heavy cotton string.
