Tinstaafl,
You are quite right, I got that sentence the wrong way round - oops! I think I got it the right way round in the rest of my post, though - just that sentence I got wrong.
You said:
In the imaginary ideal world, after take-off you would unbolt the very fine pitch take off prop after getting airborne, put on a slightly coarser climb prop for the climb, exchange that one for a coarser pitch prop for the cruise then back to the very fine pitch prop for the landing
Ah, a practical use for wing-walkers then! Did you see that guy who broke the world record for the oldest wing-walker just a couple of weeks ago? I'm sure he wouldn't mind changing the prop while he's out there...
FFF
