Get a 2 blade Warp drive..... best, most durable prop on the market.

Warp drive has a protractor that clamps on the blades . You first put it against the face of the prop hub and make sure it is at 0 degrees vertical. Then loose each blade enough to twist the blade in its holder and twist to desired degrees. Not hard , just time consuming. you can also use a digital degree meter from harbor freight and read the degrees from it. I have check my protractor against the digital meter and found them to be the same.
