So....with all this inmormation/misinformation....out there....I'd be interested in trying a 3 blade prop, if you guys are saying they'd give equal or better thrust than a 2 blade.
What would be a good starting point for a DLE55. I'm at 5000' elevation and I run a tuned pipe...(MTW RV2 I think). I'm flying a EF Yak 88'' I use a NX 23x8 2 blade right now. What do you guys suggest for a ''test mule''/
Thanks
Barry
I would suggest you ask over on the IMAC forum. The last couple of IMAC contests I worked at one of my clubs, there seemed to be a TON of the bigger planes were equipped with 3 bladers. I think most of the upper classes were nothing but 3s.
Now those guys actually do have a decent selection. They've been using three blades a whole lot more than the rest of our population and have a couple of prop mfg's who really stepped up with the goods. Of course, when a prop costs what the average modeler pays for his 60 size ARF, what'da'ya expect. But jeez, the spinner prices.....
