Magnum 61fs in SSE prop advice?????

I need some recommendations on a 3 blade prop for my Sig SSE. I am using a magnum 61fs inverted w/balsa cowl. Dont want to change landing gear and like the look of 3 bladers.
I know all the arguments against multi blades but want to use one. Should I put a pump on the engine as well to regulate the fuel???

Your thoughts folks.

Thanking you in advance.

The look of a 3 bladed prop is unsurpassed, yet they are not as efficient as a 2 blade. That being in the open, i'd say you should try a 10/6 3 blade! Also using a pump on any engine is a great upgrade for performance and reliability!!! Any more ?'s just gimme a shout! Eric

Thanks Eric.
Will see what M/A and Bolly have got.
Whats the go with pumps??? Power requirements, weight etc. I have heard that can can extend flight times/economy.
