Tin...correct...no option of a go-around - but if you have already passed "commital height" it isn't an option anyway...so why not save some money.
Agree with you 100% about the darned prop not stopping horizontal (I've often wondered why it never does - and I've worked at a place where the prop angle was a signal to the refuellers to come and top it up [after fuelling, they turned the prop to the horizontal and then knew it was full]) - but you can "kick it round" with the starter.
I agree with your comments - but still believe you could save a lot of money and engineering work with a bit of effort and thought.
