3 blade prop on a single 28??
Anyone ever try a 3 blade- like a mirage+ on a single 28.
Seems like there's plenty of slip with a labbed 4 blade bravo- just trying to see what works.
On a similar note- anyone try any of the 5 blade options?

I was planning on trying a Mirage Plus on mine over the summer, but just never got around to it. I think the biggest problem would be getting on plane with the 3 blade and blowing out in turns. It would more than likely be a single purpose prop for top speed only. If one get on plane with it, I'm sure the bow lift would improve. Might have to check out one of the "Accelerator" props that Darin was talking about.
As far as the 5 blades, I don't think anyone makes one in a small enough pitch for me. I spin a 26" B! and would have to drop to at least a 24" in a 5 blade. You might be able to find one in a 26" to try. I know Troutly dropped from 30" B1 to 27"'s when he went to the 5 blade Hydros.
