Thank you for drawing my attention to that utility. 

Using these values:

<propeller   x="-1.10" y="0" z="0"
           radius="1.638" moment="37.15" 
           mass="2000" 
           eng-power="1140" eng-rpm="2850"
           turbo-mul="4.0" wastegate-mp="28"
           cruise-alt="17500" cruise-power="2850"
           cruise-speed="308" cruise-rpm="2850"
             takeoff-power="1100" takeoff-rpm="2850"
             manual-pitch="true"
             gear-ratio = "0.477">

YASim converges nicely.

With these values

<propeller   x="-1.10" y="0" z="0"
           radius="1.638" moment="37.15" 
           mass="2000" 
           eng-power="1140" eng-rpm="2850"
           turbo-mul="4.0" wastegate-mp="28"
           cruise-alt="17500" cruise-power="2850"
           cruise-speed="308" cruise-rpm="1359"
             takeoff-power="1100" takeoff-rpm="1359"
             manual-pitch="true"
             gear-ratio = "0.477">

YASim appears go into a loop and provides no output. The only way out is to
shut down Cygwin.
