sport pilot I would say that you need to read more about props and read stuff way back. dont type in a search then say the firsat thing you read here.

also this is to talk about 2 blade VS 3 blade on model airplanes.
I did read way back and I have reread and don't see where this was mentioned. I mentioned this because one of the major reasons for multiblade props for full scale does not apply for our models. You can't go real fast when a prop will not pull against the air and increase the velocity. So you have to decrease the diameter and increase the blades.
