Jack, I had a similar situation a while back with my Arrow - blades

At which point, you're committed to a) finding serviceable blades or b)
buying a new prop.

The 3-blade was about $1 AMU cheaper so that's what I did.


Interesting...an extra blade and it cost less...go figure.

All things being equal, I'd still go with 2 blades, but saving an AMU
tipped the balance and I've not been sorry.


Yeah, can't blame you for saving an AMU.
