The problem turned out to be very simple. I originally had the propeller modelled correctly, but during some reworking, I copied one blade to the other and ended up reversing the incidence angle of the blade. That's why I couldn't understand what everyone was complaining about -- when I actually looked at the propeller in Blender on a high magnification, it was obvious what had happened. A new checkin is on the way.
