Default Is using less pitch on a prop reduces torque?
This thread looks like the old conundrum ..

Take a large truck with an enclosed box body. Place a heavy model helicopter on the deck of the truck with the doors closed.

Weigh the truck.

Now start the engine of the helicopter and hover inside the enclosed truck body.

Will the truck be lighter by the weight of the helicopter?

(argh!)
