<DIV>If you want to see a dramatic difference in drag of the windmilling prop
in a full scale Cessna, try this. Use an aircraft with a constant speed
prop, set up for best glide speed with the power off. When you have this
done with the engine at idle, note the number on the VSI. Then pull the
prop all the way out, you will see a pitch up and a smaller number on the
VSI. This gives the effect of a feathered prop in a single. We are
also taught that in multiengine aircraft that if you can't feather the prop of
the dead engine, it provides a lot of drag on the dead engine side and in a
real engine out situation it will really hurt you.</DIV>
