2/11/05 evening. Still no wind but I did try the test of yawing while it was on the drill - no jerking as one would have with a 2 blade prop, just smooth pull up or down depending on which way I yawed it.

That "pull" is the centripedal/gyroscopic force I was refering to in an earlier thread. If it's a smooth and constant force during yawing rather than the vibration like a 2 bladed turbine it might be manageable. Just hope you don't wind up ducking a lawn dart ;)
