I can understand why a poor -- as in not smooth -- paint job would
alter the prop's efficiency, but never would have guessed having a
fractional mm of paint ablated from the leading edge of the prop would
affect it that much. Tongue in cheek question -- did the natural color
of the prop clash with that color and scare the air, or something?

On a serious note, have you any thoughts as to why such a minor change
in shape would have such a remarkable change in efficiency? A 5 knot
change in airspeed is like reducing the manifold an inch or so, isn't
it? That's huge! It also suggests there may be very minor changes in
prop that could improve performance too.

You are absolutely right, and his is just exaggerating again as usual.

Like you'd know, fjukktard.

Just keep an eye on his posts, you will come to expect it in time.
