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.&= nbsp; The T/O & climb performance is very good, with a slight loss at t= he top end of the airspeed range.

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