3 of the propeller blades also have covers --
That type of turbo prop engine allows the prop and power turbine to freewheel. Those are tie downs to prevent rotation due to wind.

Uh, that is not red "tape" they are remove before flight streamers connected to various things such as cover for the pitot / static tubes, outside air temp, ice detectors, true air speed ports, etc. The covers prevent insects and dirt from clogging the system.
In the U.S. there is no "sticker price" on the aircraft. Each one is delivered to the U.S. military via a DD-250 form that lists the cost and is a negotiated price based on what software issues there are, what is missing due to supply and so on. OEM contract manager and accepting pilot sign the form.-

I use ARC and the HDMI cables are the same unless you want 4k then a "upgrade" is needed. Each TV uses a selected HDMI port for ARC (my Sony is #2) and ARC must be commanded on in the menu. I use OTA on my TV and use the ARC for audio.

Fiddled around with the performance settings today making a Wally World trip; you have to be real careful... at 20 MPH and then 1/2 throttle it WILL break free.

If there is a concern about the 4K issue you can get past that if your BR player has an HDMI audio only port (my Oppo and Panasonic does). HDMI video to TV and HDMI audio to the pre pro. I just used that as an excuse to buy the 160

Ya, I know that you looking but in my defense while picking up my dog from trainer I stopped by and found an open box 160 and pulled the trigger. I think I priced the 151 at the low end for us.

Factory standard. Purchased new.
Inner and outer factory shipping cartons with Room Perfect microphone and carton.
Location S TX 78414 will ship; buyer pays for cost strapped to small pallet or meet up distance negotiable.
Has been a champ without issue.
Reason for sale: New house has new TVs that are 4K so bought an MX160 today. The 151 does NOT do 4K but option is to HDMI from source to TV 4K and then ARC from TV to PrePro.
Price...drum roll...for my friends....min $3000.00 + shipping or I'll buy beer and cook a steak for $3000 pick up.

While picking up the puppy dog I got a McIntosh MX160 pre/pro to replace my MX151 since I upgraded the TV to 4K.

For instance earlier C-130s were equipped with Allison T56-A-15s and the gas generator (engine and turbine) was mechanically connected to the prop thru a gear reduction gearbox to the propeller. The latest C-130s use a "power turbine" that is not mechanically connected to the gas generator but extracts thermodynamic energy from the gas generator via a power turbine connected to the propeller. This system was used in many instances in the past in many helos such as the UH-1
