I see that your "toy" commuter plane is using the relatively new high-tech
"scimitar" propeller blades. They are using these on the C-130J models in

used on the E and H models and later the early A models after the hubs on the
3-bladed Curtis Electric props began developing cracks and failing in flight.
Supposedly these scimitar bladed props are more efficient
