Hi guys,

 What is the advantage of using three or four blade props? Is it just ground clearance, or better engine run, looks, there must be something good about using them, to many of the big boys use them. I have always set my land gear to use the size prop for the engine I'm using. (Most two blade props and spinners are usually a lot cheaper than the three blade set up.) I'm sure the question has been asked before, just don't know where to go to get the answer. I would appreciate your input, Gary

 Blade area to absorb H.P.

 Less Dia. to reduce torque reaction.
