How did you find the 3 bladed prop to perform. Many in the Mooney
community seem to believe the 3 blade prop reduces cruise speed by

Supposedly a myth.
Members of Cardinal Flyers have reported cruise speed losses after conversion
to 3-blades. Some have reported ROC improvements and less noise. The
consensus runs against the conversion being worth it.
