This may be true, Hugh, but a prop cannot be compared to a square profile stick...

Also, contrary to what most people think, a prop spinning at an RPM lower than it needs to develop pitch-speed, will make much more drag than a stationary prop... It is for this reason that a dead-stick landing will be longer and at a lesser slope than a powered landing.
