3 blade prop for ZDZ Super 80
What's a good 3-blade propeller for a ZDZ Super 80? I'm not opening a debate on 2-blade vs 3-blade, just like to have some first hand imput from those who have a ZDZ Super 80 and are using a 3-blade. Make, size, and who carries it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Patrick

I have a 3W 23X11 that I will be trying out on my 3W80xi. Seemed okay on a 75i and I'm guessing fair to good performance on the 80.

I had a chance to fly the airplane with the 3W 23X11 prop. It flies quite well, and I'll continue to use it. It doesn't have the low end torque that you will find on a two blade, but it does very well otherwise. Hope this helps.

I'm using a 24x10 Mejzlik on an AeroWorks 75cc Yak with a Super 80 on a JMB can. Works great, very quiet. You do lose vertical with the 3-blade but this airframe is so over powered by the super 80 that it doesn't matter.
