Wow! Right on the center line, great job!

Is that an AN-2?

Nice! I never knew that they could use the starter to keep the props even with the wings. And yup... i think that is a AN-2

Cessna 310.

Attaching photo of An-2. Supposed to be a good jump plane, but I don't think there are any active ones in the U.S.

Psssst...(its a running gag on the site to call everything an AN-2)

Damn good job.

Did he stick around after landing a bit too long?

Hmmm.

His dicking around trying to save a prop distracted him and caused him to flare late. Notice the crappy roundout and touchdown?

Feathering the prop may actually do more damage than leaving the blades normal. (They are going to take more force to bend when feathered since they are edge on to the applied load -- translates to damage to crankshaft/engine/engine mount.)

IMO his actions to save airplane parts put him and his passenger at increased risk, he might need to reconsider his priorities.
