To me, losing a prop on a single-engine tractor aircraft means instant loss
of power, an aft CG outside of the envelope, and a life-threatening
encounter with the earth's gravitational pull.

A prop for most light aircraft weights about 80 pounds for a constant
speed unit, much less for a fixed pitch prop. I don't anticipate that
on most GA aircraft the CG will go so far aft that you'll have control
problems,unless already loaded with the CG well aft.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
