Octura X447/2 vs Propshop GP/4714/3

[bigtommy79]

I have an HPR 06 and have been running Octura X447's with great results.
I damaged one prop last weekend and have ordered a pair of 3 bladed propshop GP/4714/3 in S/S.
Propshop told me they are an equivalent to the Octura X447/2.
Has anyone tried these props before? How do they compare to the Octura's?
Any help would be appreciated!

I just had a set done by Chris. I popped them on for a quick test. They bit like crazy but loaded my Etti 120's at 140 amps. Just did a pass with them. I have a pair of Etti 220's in hand as of yesterday so I can let you know PDQ. I have full logs and GPS on board so I can compare the Octura's to PS'.

Interesting srilash thanks for that.
I will give them a go this weekend and see what happens, what about top speed how did that compare?

The 3 blade Prop shop has the same blade area as the 2 blade???

I'm not sure about blade area, I will take a photo later on and post it here.

Same as a M447. Possibly slightly broader through the mid section, but I am comparing to my 2 blades which have been 'worked'.
