2Slow... As my #8 post suggested... Think about this...

Say your engine dies well flying.. The prop will stop just before the
compression stroke, The forward motion of the plane/air will hold the prop
there also.. Hence if the prop is tightened down just before the compression
stroke(inline with the wing) it will stop there on a dead stick and on *landing*

If it's tightened without setting it and it happens to be in a vertical position
(inline with nose wheel) it will stop there also........MMmmm..... Now lets see..

Would you not say if it did that..

You would have a greater chance of hitting the prop on a dead stick landing??

Which will give you a greater chance for damage to the prop, engine and or
plane with a nose over...??? Simple... Easy... "GOOD"... Tip.... Huh.....


I started the Flame.... Read the posts, And who called who what because of
"not" asking why that would be correct. And "not" knowing a good tip, Instead
of...

My Dad ALWAYS said.... **Think** before you speak... It Works

I would have replied with a PM... But you stated not to PM you anymore.. So..

Be Good and Have fun....
