Some old guys are aware that rotating a three-blade prop 180 degrees
(so that one blade is straight up as opposed to straight down at #1
TDC or whatever) can make a difference. The IO-520 had a habit of
throwing alternator belts, cured by rotating the prop. Changes
resonant vibration modes somehow.
