3 blade prop ?

[spbyrum]

Jamie

I ran 15x11 and 15x12 2 blades with some success.  The 15x11 allowed the
engine to turn about 8800 where they're happy.  The 15x12 made the plane
REALLY slow and only turned about 8300.  Consensus was that I was
over-loading the engine, so I went back to 15x11.  The one contest I
used the 15x12 was coincidentally the only contest I won as an
Intermediate.  In the true spirit of RC competition, having achieved
success, I changed and went back to loosing.  Hmmmmm......

I ran a 15x11 APC on the 120 that I had on my prophecy(a borrowed one)
and it slowed the plane pretty good .However a 15x10 worked better. I
don't think a 3 blade will work here. May be wrong. Go with 15x10 2
blade.
