3 Blade prop for DA60

Ok guys, I have never used a 3 blade prop and know nothing about them but want one for a DA60 in a EF edge for IMAC competition. What do I need?

Why do you need a 3 blade? IMAC doesn't dictate it, if its noise put a canister on.

3 blade props look cool.............. I'm flying a Biela 25X10 3 blade on my Yak SP-55M with a DLE-111. I haven't noticed a performance hit with the three blade versus a 27X10 two blade.

Look at a Biela 21X10, maybe a 22X10 if your DA-60 is strong. I'm breaking in an EME-60 right now that is on an Extra 300; once I get a few gallons through the engine most likely I'll put the Biela 21X10 on it.

Hum, aarestor, if you are worried about noise, maybe it's time to go electric!

Don't need quiet I just have a 3 blade spinner and have never tried a 3 blade prop and always thought they looked cool.

I have a 22x10 on order and when I get it I will see how it compares to the 24B I have on it now.
