The Carat has a neat idea for a prop for the MG wings - instead of a complex
and heavy electrical prop (with all the failure modes that presents), it has
a simple spring-loaded forward folding prop. The only downside is you can't
wind-mill start, but that seems a small price to pay for the weight and
simplicity. Short of throwing a blade, the only real failure mode would be
prop open - the ideal default.

I wonder if they are going to sell it outside the Carat product.
