Here are the current parts from the Propellor and Rotor categories:

4745.DAT      Propellor  2 Blade
6040.DAT      Propellor Housing
3480.DAT      Rotor  2 Blade Helicopter Tail
2421.DAT      Rotor  3 Blade
2479.DAT      Rotor  4 Blade  5 Diameter

And the next update is going to (re-)add the following:

6041.DAT      Propeller  3 Blade  1.5 Diameter
4617.DAT      Propeller  3 Blade  5.5 Diameter
3461.DAT      Rotor  4 Blade Helicopter

So we might reorganize to:

4745.DAT      Propellor  2 Blade  2.8 Diameter Freestyle
3480.DAT      Propellor  2 Blade  4   Diameter Large Hole
6041.DAT      Propellor  3 Blade  3   Diameter Boat
2421.DAT      Propellor  3 Blade  4   Diameter Small Hole
4617.DAT      Propellor  3 Blade  5.5 Diameter Airplane

2479.DAT      Propellor  4 Blade  5   Diameter Studded
3461.DAT      Propellor  4 Blade  5   Diameter Studded

You probably didn't intend to have identical names here.

I didn't intend not to.  I don't have a particular aversion to duplicate names,
although I realize that other people do.

Also, I'm not sure what to do with:

6040.DAT      Propellor Housing

It doesn't exactly belong in the 'Propellor' category, but I'd hate to rename it
"Plate  2 x  2 x  2/3 with Propellor Housing".  Anyone have any ideas?

Wouldn't that be "Brick  2 x  2 x  2/3 w/ Propellor Housing"?

I suppose.  Either way, I don't really like it. :(

The Propellor category works better, though.  Maybe "Propellor
Housing w/  2 x  2 x  2/3 Brick"?

<grin>

Might as well just leave it as Propellor Housing.

Now, how about those plates with rotor holders?  Let's see, those were...

3481.DAT      Plate  2 x  2 with Helicopter Tail Rotor Holder
3462.DAT      Plate  2 x  3 with Helicopter Rotor Holder
967.DAT       Plate  4 x  8 with Helicopter Rotor Holder (needs work)

Should these be (to fit with your Propellor Housing with Brick suggestion):

3481.DAT      Propellor Holder with Plate  2 x  2
3462.DAT      Propellor Holder with Plate  2 x  3
967.DAT       Propellor Holder with Plate  4 x  8 (needs work)

The "with Plate" notation seems so backwards.  How about...

3481.DAT      Propellor Plate  2 x  2 with Holder
3462.DAT      Propellor Plate  2 x  3 with Holder
967.DAT       Propellor Plate  4 x  8 with Holder (needs work)

Hmmm....  That doesn't do it, either.  I'm about out of ideas, everyone else
feel free to express opinions.  Please.

BTW, I am deliberately ignoring the Technic parts labeled as "rotor", because
they should stay in Technic.
