Herk Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Parked DCS C-130’s props should be up and down in cruciform to aid in FOD protection and looks. They shouldn’t look as if someone parked it and then blew Dodge. Just a suggestion for a modification. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodak Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I don't know about the modern herks and their props, but the old A's B's E's early H's required the number one blade up upon parking for the day. There was a reason and it was a technical order and on the checklist, the seals had a breather, and they'd develop leaks if you didn't. I do believe our Navy brethren did the same in their upside down mounted engines in their P-3's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herk Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 We flew F's (B), R's (H), T and Super T. Dressing the props was for a tidy squared away look and reduce FOD. DCS also depicts the SKE (station keeping equipment), on the KC-130, we didn't have it. Only USAF. I did initial qual at Little Rock AFB and they had it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country dependent, Australia dress in the "X" position with No.1 high for reasons already stated. IO will admit, seeing undressed props does my head in LOL.
