# As I recall, Mooney tried some 3 blade props of
# smaller diameter,
Same diameter.
# but went back to the 2 blades because they
# were more efficient (for performance, not noise).
On the 4-cylinder engines, they are also smoother. 3-blades are OK on 6-cyl
engines, but don't balance well on 4-cyl.

I spent some time talking to their engineering folks and marketing folks,
trying to convince them that the two seater folks with the O320s were a lot more
likely to go for the variable pitch upgrade. Lots of them are junkies on
going faster. ;-)
