Hey, Jay, if it's all the same to you, just skip the hug when we meet, ok? I'll
settle for a handshake (especially if it's got some cold glass in it).

The evidence indicates that there's a good possibility. Maybe Adam's doctors think
it's beneficial treatment?

Ahhhh... You shake the hand without the cold one. Not good to spill
good bee... er ... beverages.

This sounds to me like it could lead to an asocial bitter and unhappy
adulthood. Try this, the next time you see someone exhibiting this
behavior you speak of, go right up to them and give them a BIG hug!

Only if they happen to be members of the Swedish Bikini Team...

In the later 30's was in control line racing (60 size, class D). I
built several one bladed props used to win some contests.

I turned the McCoy 60 over 20K with these props.

They could probably make a satisfactory one bladed prop today but it
would have to be longer and/or wider than a two blade and then
probably best on a racing bird not run of mill GA.

The designer of the prop I mentioned wrote in the article about the
fallacy of single bladed prop. Regardless the dubius advantage of
biting into clean air, the problems associated with the unbalanced
thrust produced by the single blade spinning around, despite it being
counter balanced weightwise, are for all practical purposes
insurmountable.
The prop tries to rip the engine out of it's mounts all the way
around. The imbalance is pretty much impossible to dampen out and
results in monumental vibration.

I was looking at the issue from the theoreticalaerodynamic
sense and whether 15" of separation is enough. I agree
there are lots of practical difficulties with single blade
thrust, but that does not mean they are insurmountable in
all cases. It's not unusual to see them on indoor model
aircraft where efficiency is particularly critical and the
"unbalanced thrust" is low and less of a problem.

I wasn't trying to say that one bladed props are practical
or more desirable, but it seems likely to me that the
aerodynamics of a single blademake it more efficient.
Design is always a trade-off and I have serious doubts that
the extra efficiency is worthwhile in any normal
application.

I don't think they want individual riders standing in the street, in front
of an idling bus, fiddling with a bike rack that may already contain one (or
more) other bikes.

shrug That's how it works here - you're expected to load/unload your own
bike; the drivers will help if you ask, though.

And yes, the racks get used, 365 days of the year.

In this regard, I agree with them. The liability insurance issue here
would be even worse than it already is.

I'm in Canada; we have (marginally) saner lawyers, I guess. In any case,
nobody's died or sued yet, that I know of.
