Some playing around with dforce cum-props. I have to say, this is a royal pain in the ... rear. Anything other than letting the props dropping onto a surface has to be done with wind (to "pin" them to a surface) or otherwise pin them partly to it.

I will have to do much more learning with them, maybe creating them in blender is a better way. Not as versatile, but less painfull.
Here the dforce-version: Very hard to get the props to go/stay, where you want them to.
the original prop-version:
