I have a question about the 4 blade warp drive. I was told that with the 4
blade prop that when you dropped the RPM for landing it created a lot of
extra drag, kind of like an air brake. And to go with the 3 blade system for
this reason. Any thoughts on or comments. Still smiling aren't you?

Congrat's Johannes!!

As for the 4 blade WD, Phil, I didn't find that (brake disk effect) at all
when I flew Bernie Desantis's 4 bladed machine. If anything more the
opposite as it wouldn't slow down for me like mine does on final!
