Propeller Selection

Hey guys..I'm new to the whole super cub world and I was wondering what the difference in two blade and three blade props. What does each one do for the plane and how it will fly?

Thanks,
Tyler

This thread on wattflyer answers that very question: www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7509

Basically, to go to a three blade prop you need to decrease diameter and increase pitch. Since you will always get better efficiency with a two blade prop, you would only ever opt for a three blade if you had to have a smaller prop.

Plenty of reading to be had on the subject with the following google search: www.google.com.au/search?q=two+blade+vs+three+blade+props
