On the C172s I've used, the prop starts about as fast as a car engine, i.e. in well under a second. It would be hard to get a tach reading, but I'll try to remember. > Yes, the propellor spins way to slowly compared to engine rpm. This > might be intentional so that it maintains 'smooth' animation.

The trouble is that you see only snapshots of its position as determined by framerate, and the positions are usually creeping one direction or another.
