I fly a lot of 3 and 4 bladed props. 2 bladed props are more efficient but my planes are usually overpowered anyway so I can take the performance hit. 3 and 4 blade props tend to be quieter. There is some good info on props at www.rcfaq.com

On pattern type planes you get better brakeing coming down hill. Until I put a 3 blade 13/8 master in place of a 2blade 13/10 APC on my Calypso I had to start my landing approaches in the next county.

ft, check out the Zinger website they have litterly dozens of multi blade props, 3 and 4 blade and you can order them direct. They get them to you fairly quickly considering that they make them when you call. zingerpropeller.com
