Why would the prop make a difference? Attachments 3 blade.jpg 52.7 KB · Views: 12 2blade.jpg 63.2 KB · Views: 12

You see a propeller spinning at a constant RPM. The reality is the propeller is pulsating with each power stroke of a cylinder as it spins. The 2 blade prop has a longer blade (arm) and is suffers from more vibration. Last edited: Aug 5, 2025
