I'm at my wits end with ramp guys at various airports pushing or pulling
on my prop to move the airplane around the ramp. What have you guys been
successful with to prevent this? "NO PUSH/PULL" signs do not seem to work,
and my latest method has been to immediately speak with the ramp
supervisor when I arrive at an airport to make sure they understand the
needs of my airplane.

Why is this not basic training for all ramp hands? Am I out of line with
being upset when I come out to see my prop cover/spinner all covered in
greasy hand prints? It really knocks down my confidence level on the next
takeoff thinking that someone has just been using my prop as a handle.

Okay, I'll stop ranting. Just looking for helpful advice
