    Bill Berson, Just remember whether you are flying a G109 or a 109G before you shut off the engine!

    And to be serious for just a moment, if it was vital to postion wooden prop blades horizontal re water content,then what about 3, 4 , or 5 blade wooden props, they can't have all blades horizontal at the same time?

    My understanding is that for four-bladed props they're to be placed in a "plus sign" configuration, and for three blades with one pointing straight up.

    Most four bladed wooden props are so big that I don't think water weight is much of an issue in balance.
