RE: Stupid question for clever people
I have never bought in to the more blades less effective the prop argument.....look at our full scale brothers they're moving to even more blades on props...the C-130 started out as a 3 blade (A model) to a 4 blade now it's 5 or 6...in flight as the aircraft moves forward the prop blades are always moving into realitve calm air.....
A friend of mine had the H9 Hellcat..it flew better with a more scale looking 3 blade than it did with a 2 blade.
Now I'll be the first to tell someone with Raptor PTS to remove the 3 blade prop and get a two blade...but that 3 blade that comes with the PTS...each blade is huge....lots of drag.
I think I'm going to try a 4 blade on my 180 sized P-47...
