propellor calcs and selection
I was reviewing the article by Andy Lennon called " Matchmaking" in the Model Aviation mag from June 07 and could not reconcile the speed estimates to my calculations. Anyone else try to match those values in the tables? I also was looking for a cross referrence on two bladed vs three and four bladed props. What are the pro's and con's of the different blade counts?

RE: propellor calcs and selection
I am currious what would be your oppinion if you check with the
following. For Power estimate I use the Propeller Calculator from
the Pe Reivers MVVS web site:
http://www.mvvs.nl/
Click 'Propellers' on the left and then click the
'Propeller power calculation sheet' link. You can use
it on-line, or download it.
