The Luke is nice because its geometry is pretty much identical

I don't know what makes this so difficult for people to understand,
but feathering props are NOT poor performers in reverse. Quite the
opposite.


They're probably confusing them with *folding* props, which have a bad
rep.... I believe all of the *feathering* ones improve reverse
substantially.

Having switched, I don't think I'll ever have a fixed prop again.
