Can some of you more “experienced” folks tell me..does the prop windmill after the engine quits, or does it stop rotating?

Thats a matter of prop pitch, compression, airspeed gearing.

If the airspeed/slipstream puts enough force on a prop to turn the engine, then it will windmill.

Whats normal for 13b's? no idea.
