4 cylinder prop size

[AirAg]

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen a 4 cylinder with a 3 blade prop (other than a warp drive or an Ivo)?

None of the manufacturers seem to offer one. Why?
I'd like to see one manufactured. From the posts on the forum here a three blade would reduce a significate amount of vibration. Even be quieter.

Maybe the demand is not there for the expense of manufacture.

Still I wonder if the idea has been tested.

A small Sensenich H Series could be an option

What's wrong with a Warp Drive? My friend's 150 ran awesome with a 70" 3 blade Warp

Stevie Jurnigan of Jurnigan Engine's is running a 3 blade Sensinich I'm pretty sure. Not sure exactly what 4 cylinder he's running but I think it's turbo-charged.

i have a 200 angle valve lycoming and this little motor gets it. right now it has a 70" 34 Air Prop and it spins the hell out of it. i wouldn't hesitate to put a narrow 3 blade 70" on it.....i love my sensenich but i'm sure a whirlwind super snapper would work well too. my friend had some work done to a 180, giving it 205 hp and he swings a PS Signature and it runs like a bat outta hell, whereas the recommended prop is a narrow blade for that motor. he could easily swing a narrow 3 blade....JMO

Pretty neat. Just never seen or heard of a 4 cylinder with a 3 blade prop. Just had to ask.
