3 blade prop for BME 110 Extreme?
Was wondering what 3 blade prop people are using on the BME 110 Extreme...
I thought the rule was 1" shorter so say a 27x10 3 blade? Or is that still too much...
THe setup I am looking at will be about 24 lbs all up and the performance hit of 3 blade isn't that big of a deal to me... I just don't want prop rip which is why I am considering 3 blades.
I've read that the 110 rips even 28x10's when broken in.

I think Tim Indy runs a Biela 26x10 3 blade. With that light of a plane, I would think a mejzlik, air models 26x12 would be the way to go, or even a fuchs 25x12 (fuchs is a little more load then a mej or AM, hence the lower diameter)

A 3-blade Mejzlik 25x12 should work very well. I use it on a 3W-106 and get about 6,000rpm on the ground. It is very quiet in the air. Performance is also very good on a 27 lb Wildhare 35% Extra.

While talking aboutt he 110... what headers are used for the 110? I've read the 3W headers are interchangeable?

The headers that work are the KS headers. Aircraft Intl has them in either standard or flex. They are not cheap though, they are $90 for a set, but very nice headers. They are not interchangeable with 3W headers though.

Wingburner the performance is down from the 28x10 two blade but then so is the noise. I have the 110 in a GP 330l all up wieght is 20 lbs 9oz so it goes without saying that performance on either prop is out standing, the air speed on the 3 blade is way down BTW it turns the 28x10 at 6600 on stock mufflers.

I have a Mejzlik 24X10 three blade on mine mounted on a modified Miles Reed Weeks Solution X. You can see video of it on my website. This is the most trouble free engine I have ever had right out of the box.
