of the asymetric thrust??
it would be an interesting prop to watch you fly behind. (while
standing on the ground) must make some interesting noises.


It's not noticeable. The pitch is symmetrical, and the
chordwise offset, being as small as it is, just causes the airflow
across the blades to have a very small difference in chordwise angle.
