Default Transitional Pitched Prop???

Quick question for you guys. I am planning on putting a Fuji32B on a Midwest Texan. When I acquired the kit it had a prop with it. It is an 18X8-10 I think (If I remember exactly), but anyway, I am curious about the 8-10 thing. I know the second number is the pitch. I also assume that 8-10 means it changes pitch along its length. I also think the higher pitch is inboard gradually reducing pitch out to the tips of the prop. Please correct me if I am wrong in any of this. So my question is, what is the purpose of this design. Benefits, gains, drawbacks, etc. By the way, it is a Top Flite powerpoint prop.
Thanks
