In Response To: 3 blade versus 4 blade props (DavidR)

David,

Basically a three blade wheel will be less expensive, a bit faster on high end of the RPM range and not as smooth running as a four blade.

Beyond that it's pretty much your prefference...

The best efficiency will come from a four blade Nibril.

Br,

Patrick
