I liked the overall performance of B1s {4 blades} better on mine....
I would try a 26 B-1 might have to get it worked to get the RPMs

I agree on the 4-blades, much better ride and an easy 5mph faster at cruise Than the 3 blades. I used to spin stock 26 Bravo1's at 55-5600 with a little over 600HP. With 3 blades Mirage props that were 25 pitch, it would spin 5800.
