Does a heavier weight fixed balde broadhead help with accuracy,and will a three blade plane more than a two blade?

On the second part, again, it depends. I would think that a vented head will plane more then a solid head, doesn't matter if it is two or three blades. IN either case, once again, the arrow needs to fly straight. But a non-vented head will be quieter.
Personally, I'll take the non-vented two blade head with a single bevel.

If you use helical fletching, there won't be any planing with any broadhead. I use Magnus heads, 11/4 in. widewith the bleeder blades. I can detect no difference in flightcompared tomy target tips.

Here are my thoughts .....
I wasn't a heavy FOC believer until this year and now? I have 100 gr brass inserts and 160 gr broadheads for a total of 160 gr up front. I shoot carbons - and the ball and string theory seems to work (that is, throw a ball with a string tied to it, and the string will follow the heavier ball)
As for planing, thats broadhead design IMO. With the speeds of recurves/longbows, if your arrows are tuned, I doubt planing will be much of an issue ever

I feel the same way as you.
