Re: Best prop choice

whoops, thanks for moving.

i'm spinning @4800 now with a 3 blade 19 with a bottom end that pulls like mule but i would like a little more top end, so would a 21 hurt me bad on take off and how does a bigger prop affect slow speed plane, what do you gain or lose with a 4 blade? thanks
