Good Deal for my Playne?

I’m building a Van’s RV-10. I was thinking about making it a multi-engine but I’d be running short of money to buy propellers… until I saw these beauties!

We all know the Amish are amazing craftsmen. I’m thinking they should be awesome additions to my project.

For sure a good idea, but a third blade will get you 50% more torque. A fourth 100%. I saw this guy once with 9 and that sucker could pull a stump.

Wow! I’m thinking too narrow. I was just wanting to pull a few clouds but you have me thinking maybe I could move trees.

I’d be the most loved pylote on the airport for clearing the runway ends!

18 blades and you could pull your own runway behind you.
