Default 3 blade prop manufacturers

I've got a fascination with three blade props. Why? I dunno, and I'm aware of the supposed inefficiency of the extra blade.
When I purchased my plane it come with a Graupner 3 blade. Well, it lasted exactly one very short flight, so I really don't know how good it was.

I bought a Master Airscrew 3 blade, but I've since realized how much the MAS props flex.

From the looks of it APC only offers one 3 blade, a 15.75 x something so I guess that's out.

Anyone have experience with the Graupner props? Are there any other brands out there worth using?

I can't seem to find any more, although I'm sure there must be. I'd like to keep the Nylon/glass filled. No wood props for me just yet.


Oh, and it's for a .61 2-stroke so something like a 12-5 or a 11-7 three blade is what I've looking for.

Thanks for the help
