using leaf blower to un-load prop.
 
think it would help unload the prop a little? i dont know how fast a wind it makes, no doubt at least 60 mph.

RE: using leaf blower to un-load prop.
 
This came up about 6 months ago on here. The results were not a conclusive as you would think.

In essence the increased flow gave the propeller increased bite and the load didn't materially change.

There was a big discussion about it with people taking sides etc. It will probably happen again?
