3-blade prop?

I don't remember if you said you had a lightweight PM starter on your bird,
Jay. If not and you put one on, that would offset the increased weight on the nose
with a 3-bladed prop.

Yeah, we've got the lightweight starter, so we're good there.

As far as any loss in useful load, I won't notice 11 pounds on 1460.
The W&B might be an issue though -- Atlas is already a bit nose-heavy.
Nothing a toolbox in the luggage compartment doesn't cure, though.
(And when we've got four on board, all is good.)

Anyone got any experience with CS props going bad? The oil on the
windshield was minimal, and there was only slight evidence of oil on
one blade. Is this something that could:

a) Stay the same over time
b) Get worse little by little
c) Let loose all at once

Also, can anyone recommend a good prop shop?
