Kelly,

I have a 3-blade Warp Drive that I occasionally run.  It is smoother than
the 2-blade wood props, and I have the pitch set so that it gives a slightly
higher static.  The T/O & climb performance is very good, with a slight loss
at the top end of the airspeed range.

I don't run it all the time because it looks embarrassingly like an
ultralight prop, and the spinner is 1" too small.  Other than that, it is my
best prop!
