    New Prop. Three blades vs four

    Talked with Ken at Propgods and he recommended 17 pitch Powertech REL3 for what I'm looking for. So be going with his recommendation soon as I have the funds. Thanks for pointing me in right direction. Going out this weekend hoping for a good haul of blues and maybe a Spanish or two!
