from what I understand about propellers, they are what makes the plane go,
they turn at a very high RPM and are suppose to be balanced. during
preflight you check for cracks, dings and any other problems that may
cause a problem. I would consider a bent (more or less) prop a problem.

The thing with aviation is we are suppose to be responsible people, we
learn what to do and not to do, we are suppose to check ourselves. you can
get away with alot if thats what your wanting to do. But where it catches
up with you is when you least expect it.

So we found a wheel chock and a mallet.


Well, I would walk away rather than being part in something like that.
I sure think aviation is over-regulated, but that'S a major Forrest
Gump moment: Stupid is as stupid does.
