Default RE: Three bladed props vs. two bladed props.

With the selection available I run 3 blades on all the models that should have more then 2 blades in full scale & 2 blade wooden props on my WWI & other planes that had 2 blades.

I fly electric & use a watts-up to dial them in to the motor/ESC specs with about a 15/20% saftey factor. Biggest 3 blade I have is a 14X8X3 in a SR Telemaster & the biggest 2 blade is a 20X8 in a 1/4 scale PA-12 Piper Super Cruiser.
