    Also safe to assume Lab finish increases risk of thrown blade?

    Have not heard of anyone on here throwing a blade but any prop can throw one it just depends on how you run it and how you treat it.

    Yes, new never worked 28p promax. Its now a $600 3.5 blade door stop.
    But to be honest, I haven't found a prop yet that my flashed SHO couldn't throw a blade off of.

    I've saw some with cracked blades. I will say they have thicker blades than most.

    Do you throw 3 blades or only 4 blades? Do you find Tempest throws the least?

    So far only 4 blades. I haven't ran a tempest yet. I only throw blades after a high speed run. Anything over 85+ seem like a blade will come off the next trip out.
    I haven't pushed my 3 blade scorpion over 83 yet and its still holding up great.

    I WAS going to say try a scorpion. the softer ss is the key. IMO. SCORPION is my best all around winner, lift, top end super.i can run 78 thats it.

    if you run a prop high enough, you will eventually throw a blade or two, I have a few times, cracked a few too

    wow ok that is high. At any number below pad like 1 to 1.5 below do you reduce blade loss significantly?
