How many vent plugs on Mirage plus prop?

Would it hurt anything to run with only 2 of the 3 vent hole plugs in the mirage plus prop? With all the vent plugs out the prop spins out. I'd like to allow it to spin a little easier when taking off from a idle. Can this be accomplished by leaving 1 vent plug out? I don't want to put the prop out of balance. Thanks.

Removing the vent plugs allows ambient air and exhaust gasses to escape through the holes creating a slip effect for the propeller to gain rpm on hole shot.

I usually tell people to remove all plugs to begin. Add plugs as needed to control blow out. Mixing sizes is encouraged to create the best set up.

We have all sizes in stock.
