Its my understanding that with compression that the angle of incidence decreases - particularly on the front.

Yes, I was meaning sticking it on a 2 post hoist and then trying to spin the shafts.

I have access to one. I'll try that when next up the hoist.

In the aircraft game we had a grease gun fitting that was pointed and you just poked it in to the end of the nipple , so fitted into very tight spaces . If you go into ebay and look at grease gun fittings you will see kits that have the piece in them , but I am sure you can buy them by themselves , mine were part of my retirement package
