3 Blade prop for 3W-150cc
 
I need to get some input on the best 3 blade prop for a 3W 150cc TOC I would like to put this on a 40%er that has a three blade spinner already but I dont know where or what size or what brand ( carbon fiber preferably) I should put on it.
Thanks,
Forrest

I use the 28.5x12 Mejlick 3 Blade prop on my 3W 140. Works great. Never tried it yet on my 150.

I fly with a 3W 170 and tried the THREE Bladed Mejzlik 28x12 at 5800 ---28.5x12 at 5550 ---and 29x12 at 5350----All 3 broke in flight----Mejzlik refunded money. Want to try the THREE blade Biela 29x12 but am really scared if it will safely handle a 5350 to 5500 rpm.Anybody use these at these rpm's for long?Yesterday I was flying with a Fuchs TWO Blade 32x12 at 5100 rpm and it broke in flight after 5 flights---The 2 bladed Mejzlik 32x10 at 5750 rpm is the only prop which has run 250 flights and no breaking but is noisy.

If you are breaking these props you got a serious problem somewhere and it's not the props.

I've been running these kind of props on and been around 150-160 class engines for years have never heard of such a thing.

Exactly, unless you bought these props used and they were unknowingly in a crash, you have some other issues to worry about.
