Default RE: APC for Pattern

Without going into details, it depends. Primarily, the braking is increased as the area of the prop blades increases, and in most cases, a 3 blade prop of similar load to a 2 blade prop will have more blade area and yield a slower downline.

Do 3-blade props offer better down line breaking than 2-blade props?
