I changed my mind on how they might differ with the "I'm glad I only went as
far as saying they might differ." post.  I can see where a small very light
balsa model with a wide-blade prop would do better to let the prop free-spin
where a heavier full-scale craft might do better to have the prop fully stalled
and not autorotating.    And I know at least one person who switched from a
3-bladed prop to a 2-bladed prop so the next time he has a power-failure he
might get a reasonable glide ratio. 

Thanks Bob, when I hear of 'high temperature' paints and motor paints, I think
can get by with doing a paint-over but I'll want to further research paints,
primers, and powder-coatings.  Sounds cheaper and durable enough.  I initially
wanted a silver color but thought it was too close to white, and I heard you
shouldn't paint a motor white.  Maybe that's just for air-cooled motors.   To
get my desired alternating silver-blue scheme in powder-coating would take
extra work and money.   I'd like to save those pennies and apply them toward a
dyno-analysis-and-tune job before I actually fly with my motor.
