Bill, I'm a  new-bee on the list..just signed up today. Just wanted to ask
you about 2 bld verses 3 bld props.. even though the there is an extra
tip/blade involved wouldn't the fact that the blade length is slightly
shorter and therefore moving slower creating less noise.. and a better tip
efficency level than a two blade prop?   Another question for those on the
list, is there anyone here from Western Canada [Alberta, Sask, Manitoba]??

Thanks much..
