Default 2 to 3 blade prop conversion

I need to use a three bade prop for a Saito 100 but the manufactor suggest 14x8 or 15x6 2 blade props. Which 3 blade should I use? Is theere a table to use to converte it? It's for a Tucano T27.

General rule of thumb, when switching from a 2 bladed to a 3 bladed prop, drop one inch in pitch or diameter, some say both.

Does anyone make a three-bladed prop in the 13x6 flavor? Or how about 13x5? I can't seem to find one. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? Thanks.
