3-blade prop?
: Pros:
: - quieter
: - better climb rate
: - coolness factor
- Shorter takeoff too, no?
: Cons:
: - cost
: - reduction of cruise speed by a few knots
I don't remember if you said you had a lightweight PM starter on your bird,
Jay. If not and you put one on, that would offset the increased weight on the nose
with a 3-bladed prop.
