Questions About Props

[adriancwong at earthlink.net]

What size of engine are you talking about? 

I'm using a 15 x 13 w on my 140 DZ, and a 15.75 x 13 on my 160 DZ, both with good results.

I'm sure that this has been covered before but how does one go about 
figuring out which 3 bladed prop size to use in place of a 2 blade.  
I'm assuming the the diameter would be smaller but by how much and I'm 
guessing pitch affects the size as well.

Also, this is somewhat related but not an aerobatic question per say.  
If an aircraft has a pusher prop configuration and is powered with an 
electric motor isn't it possible to use a regular prop and just mount 
it in the same orientation as it would be used in a tractor 
configuration but just reverse the direction of the engine.  Isn't it 
also possible to reverse the direction of a gas engine as well.  If 
this is the case why do they sell "pusher props", is this so that you 
don't have to reverse the direction of the engine.  Thanks for any help 
with this.
