[C320-list] Stock 2 blade propeller

[Jeffrey Brown]

We replaced our original two-blade with a two-blade folding prop, specifically for racing. We estimate we picked up an extra 1/2 to 3/4 knot of speed, which is typical. When you’re racing, this is usually the difference between 1st and 5th…and we have the trophies to prove it. :)
