Bfish, I sent this thread to Sam This was His reply to me .... <'TK><

He definitely doesn't need a 4 blade prop I don't feel like he would see any performance improvement. It sounds like if any thing he may need to go down in pitch rather than up to achieve maximum performance. He says that the last few rpm's and mph are slow to come which would indicate too much pitch. I would suggest dropping down to a 10 or 10.5 pitch prop especially since he says the replacement props are all 10/10.5 diameter. We need to check what props Solas has available for his motor and see if they might offer a better solution I think the added diameter would kill his rpm's.
