Graham, 
Sensenich do do three blades on their composite prop (or they had it in 
development a couple of years ago). Probably the combined blade area 
will be too great for the 912S. And the price, given what only two 
blades cost.

  I think its a pity Sensenich don't do three blades. Two blades always 
cause yaw vibration which can't be balanced out. (due to the different 
AoA of the two blades when aircraft pitch is not the same as engine 
pitch, ie hi power climb) Three blades automatically balance it out.

  Fred-


  I'm using a Sensenich ground adjustable.  I have been working with 
Flight Crafters and it is their recommendation.  They have installed 
several with good results.  It is really a pretty slick setup.  The two 
blades are slaved, so you only need to adjust one, and there is a small 
gauge on the hub indicating the pitch.

  Jim,


  Would you mind letting me (us) know what prop you'll be using, and 
your rationale for your decision?


  Thanks,


  Fred
