Quietest prop for 3W100

Can anyone give me a recommendation for the quietest prop for a 3W100 with cans in a GSP Edge 540? Thanks.

Jim

The Air Models 25 x 12 3-blade props are working well for us in the Southwest. Nice and quiet.

I'm using a Mejzlik 25x12 3-blade on a 3W-106 with Johnson mufflers. Very quiet prop with excellent performance.

I used a 26x12 AirModels 3 blade when I flew a DA-100 on a TBM 35% Extra 260... I really liked that prop, at least for a light plane like that.

If you go with a two blade, then try a Fuchs 29-10. Nice and quiet and will pull a little harder than a 3-blade. Probably not as quiet as a 3-blade though. I usually get 10's on Imac sound scoring with the 29-10 and Pefa cans.
