I'm currently trying to find a 3-blade prop for it....
Scott,
I was just wondering why you would be looking for a 3 blade prop. I have never seen a full size P-47 that didn't have a 4 blade prop. Just curious.
I had ruled out a 4-blade because I wasn't sure if the 1.60 would swing one big enough.Any idea what size I'd need? I'm using an 18-8 in a two blade, and it doesn't clear the bottom of the cowl but by 2 3/4". By the time I drop down in diameter for a 4-blade, it would barely clear. Might look a little silly, and I wonder what kind of performance I'd get from it. I had considered a 4-blade just for static purposes...
