I did it with an O-200 in my Midget Mustang which had a Sterba wood prop that would probably be about the same diameter and just a little more pitch than if used on a KR. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it would not stop windmilling until somewhere slower than about 75 MPH. It would not start windmilling again until something north of 170. I found that I could glide a little better with it windmilling than without (both with engine stopped) contrary to what we are all taught. This would not necesarilly apply to every engine/plane/prop combination.

I'm sure somebody else on the list has, however.
