The only other answer is some airplane elf came and reindexed your prop
in the middle of the night :-)


May not be as strange as it sounds.

Maybe someone needed a prop. They stole one, put it on your plane and
stole
yours. That way the one reported as stolen is on your plane, which you may
never find out about. Mr prop theif winds up with yours, which never gets
reported.


Nope; nice try, though. I'd already made 3 stops that day in which
everything appeared normal.


I would not be too concerned about it. Remember -- the rings rotate in
their lands and can sometimes end up with all the gaps lined up, thus
changing the effective compression. This appears to be the case here,
since the prop is now stopping in the usual place.

To add fat to the fi is it always the same blade on the same side, or
do they swap?
