Hello All
I am looking for a bit of advice for my first glider. When I install the fold away prop on the spinner the blades can roll forward "past perpendicular". I am not sure if I am explaining that properly but the blades fold all the way back to the fuselage which is great but past vertical in front of the spinner. Should there not be some kind of limiter or something on the blade to stop it from going past vertical?

Mine was the same. I believe that is normal.

It's fine this way, normally they always fold back, or if Motor running at 90 deg due to centrifugal force.
