There was an article on prop tape in an old issue of the PFA mag. Prop tape (it said) can degrade the performance of the prop by upsetting air flow over the blades. The author had noticed a marked improvement in performance after it was removed along with all traces of adhesive. Thanks for this bil...

Anecdotal examples and personal testimonials are not proof that dowsing works. Face it dude, this stuff is baloney. Otherwise, why doesn't anyone cash in on The Amazing Randi's $...
