You would not steal a wallet so don't steal people's livelihood.
Think of that before your buy "cheap" pirated goods or download others work protected by copyright. Theft is theft.
Was the ring added for cavitation reasons or because of a towed array?
Not cavitation, but tip losses. And yes they could save the tow in a tight, low-speed turn or if the boat has to back down (In both cases, if possible, they would reel the two in first)
I suspect -- but have never heard any authoritative confirmation -- the ring worked to stiffen the blades as the I's were upgraded to do under-ice work (the class design shift from fairwater planes to retractable bow plane).
Thanks guys - all great info - I love this hobby and its endless learning curve- its good to be back.
