Typically the fewer blades the better. Supposedly a counterbalanced single is supposed to be better than a 2 blade! I doubt most people would try though. The more blades you have the more wakes you cause.

Hey, what would you recommend? A three or four blade prop? It will be wood, so weight isnt such an issue, but which is more efficient given the same power? Sam
