Post Why no 3blade on longtail?
Why are there only 2 blade props available for longtails? Is this because they do not ride on the surface? Sorry if this is a repeat/dumb question.

In the "early days" GD had a 3 blade LT prop - but with the smaller
diameter 9" and the modern 2 blade design - the modern 2 blade
is a better prop with the smaller diameter prop....

Things change when the diameter gets up to 11" to 12" range though....
