sport what you are saying doesnt make any sense. so if an engine will not pull hard enough with a 2 blade prop it will pull harder with a smaller diameter and more blades. LOL The engine only makes so much HP. by what your saying I can put a 12 blade prop that is super small on my plane and go real fast???
