Default RE: Three blade prop vs two?

The three blade will definately be less efficient than a two blader is. A rough rule of thumb when converting from two to three blade props is to drop down an inch in pitch or diameter, maybe slightly more for the larger sized engines. You can only be certain by trial and error.
