AH2 Beta never ceases to amaze me.

This time, out of curiosity, I tried a little test on what would happen if the engines are turned off during flight. (Well, actually, it was a side effect attained while testing out the Beta8 G-10 in verticals)

I decided go straight vertical, and then turned the engine off. I could immediately notice the prop was beginning to slow down.

When my speed reached absolute 0, the prop actually stopped.

And then, as my plane flipped over and gained speed, the props began windmilling. After gaining some speed, I pitched the nose up and could see the props slowing down again.

Very cool!

When you crash the props also bend very nice!

The same thing as kweassa says can be seen on the cv too, just land a plane on it and turn off engines.

i havent been able to ditch to hear new sound or see prop bend, i always sink into ground and says i crashd but im going perfect slow and level with flaps and gears up.
