Using NodeVisitors is the way to go with scenegraphs.

Your sample code isn't what I would consider minimal, so it is hard to 
spot an obvious error.
But I don't see how the MatrixTransform is related to your scene graph. 
You need to do something like this inside your callback

for (p : node->getParents())
{
     p->removeChild(node);
     p->addChild(matrixTrans);
}
matrixTrans->addChild(node)

Your code simply adds a new parent, so the propeller is most likely 
drawn twice the time you would expect.

Btw. If your visitor is looking for the node-name only you don't have to 
implement anything else but the apply(Node) as even the 
osg::Geode/osg::Drawables and are osg::Node-derived since version 3.3.0.
