3-blade prop?
"Jay Honeck" wrote:
We would either go with an overhaul, or now would be the time to install a 3-blade prop, both for inproved smoothness of operation (the Lyc O-540 ain't known for smoothness) and improved ground clearance (we like grass strips). One thing that may not be obvious is that the 3-blader will probably weigh more. I think I remember looking up the paperwork on my club's Arrow (3 blades installed by a previous owner) and it was 11 pounds more. The weight itself may not be a problem, but hanging out on the nose, it makes a big difference in CG (which, depending on your CG now, may be a good or a bad thing).
