3-bladed props for OS160FX

[Bob Richards]

 I guess if you want to maintain a true helical pitch, if you are reducing the pitch then you will need to add some pitch back towards the tips. Higher pitch props have more twist along the blade than lower pitch props. So if you depitch at one point towards the root, then you end up with a blade that effectively has washout. Correct? That may be good for our purpose.

Claudio,
Ideally you would twist the prop at several places to acheiv helical pitch. In practice, this is entirely unnecessary. Twist once, as close to the hub as practical, and that will work just fine. I see that Dave L added more detail to the procedure.
