    MIT did a study on this and the summary was posted on one of the GB
    owners forums a couple of years ago in a discussion of this topic. The
    MIT study showed that a locked prop always produced more turbulence (aka
    drag) than a freewheeling prop, and that the overall drag penalty from a
    freewheeling prop was always less to some degree than the locked prop.
    Obviously the more "freewheeling" the prop is, the less turbulence it
    will produce.

    Marin - Can you provide a link or a copy of the paper? This is good info!
