Anyone else spotted the weird propellor arrangement in Steve’s photo…. maybe its just a poor copy of the original image, but it looks like the four blades are split, two on each section of the contra rotating “hub” but in a very “assymetrical” arrangement.

Or if its not a contra-prop then two blades appear to be closer to the tip of the spinner, and two closer to the back plate….?

Anyone care to confirm this is an optical (or photo-induced) illusion?

Otherwise the propellor(s) would be very unbalanced on the shaft 😮

Possibly a censor trying (unsuccessfully) to disguise the nature of the propellors?
