I can't speak from direct experience - yet - but the reason I'm
planning on a Hertzler Silver Bullet is that several people have
found that Gary's two blade had outperformed the Catto they had made
for the same application. For example, Marc Zeitlin found he liked
his new Silver Bullet better than the three blade that he'd had
before.
Problem is, one of those "other factors" is that for any given
output, two blade usually has to be longer than a three blade. Too
long on a pusher and it gets trimmed automatically on your first
high-angle-of-attack landing.

efficient would be 2 blades. other factors may favor more blades
but that's a different question.

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?
