Since your prop has a positive angle of attack, that's how it produces thrust, what is the back of the prop actually meets the oncoming relative wind. Jerry Eichenberger Columbus, Ohio N2906H

This leaves time to ponder all the stuff that inquiring minds want to know. So here is one for you old hands. While working on the prop I noticed that all the bug guts were on the back side of the prop. Now I would assume that a plane traveling at 100 mph would run into some bugs on the front of the prop, not the back. So the question is: Why are bugs on the back and not the front? I am only guess when I reason that since a prop is like a spinning wing, high pressure air at the back of the prop pushes the little critters to their death. Anyone want to enlighten me on this?
