Mods: please move if you feel this belongs more in "propellers" rather than in RV-10.
Oshkosh special is upon us and I was thinking about ordering it. I was initally thinking about getting a three blade prop for my -10. After talking to Bob Turner (thanks Bob!) I don't see a reason why I should get the three blade prop.
The only advantages I see are quieter operation and 2" better ground clearance. The disadvantages - lower speed, more than 2x cost. Some people mention ramp appeal, and yes, while I like the looks of 3 blades, the looks aren't worth the price differential and lost speed.
Is there anyone here who got 3 blades? Any advice?
