Title: Flex-o-Fold Prop
Post by: barry on May 20, 2003, 11:25:04 AM

I'm in the process of purchasing a folding prop to replace my factor 3-blade 15x9. After reading the information on the web site I understand the different between a 2-blade vs. 3-blade can be summed as:

3-blade Pros Reduced vibration and more power - 15x10
2-blade Pros More speed under sail - 15x?

My questions are:
(1) what's the correct pitch for a 2-blade - 15x11 or 15x12 - Flex-o-fold says that 15x12 is the correct pitch for the M25XP. does anyone have anyone direct experience?

(2) Is vibration created by the prop wash significantly different between the 2 and 3 blade props.

thanks
