There are some blurry cross sections, for a German WWI plane here:

http://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/firewall-forward-props-fuel-system/17719-reverse-engineering-wwi-wooden-propeller.html

http://www.woodenpropeller.com/DVII.html

The length of the propeller is said to be 2800 mm.
The pitch seem to vary with engine HP, ranging from 1780 mm, 1890 mm, to 2120 mm pitch.
I've read that pitch is measured at 75% of the radius of the blade.

There is a Rhino tutorial, and a thesis with Solidworks, on google...

That site has more information.

Which bi-plane are you modeling?

Here is a 6 station prop, drawing AD644, for a Sopwith camel:

Page 12 could be traced in MoI, with the cross sections rotated and lofted. Still need to do the Hub.

A nice link, which explains cross sections very simply, is : http://www.nmine.com/propeller.htm

(I imported the SLDPRT to Geomagic design, saved as step, and imported to MoI.)

Maybe ScriptArray can help for some many things! :) because basic Transform / Array / Circular has not Size parameter inside!
(don't remember if another scritp blend Move, Size, Rotation in same time ? ) ScaleArray has not the rotation
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5595.18

Just edit the header of the page for the 3 functions Move, Size, Rotate!

Draw original ellipse on Right View following your parameters : here movement will be on the X
Movement of the original on the X will be : 5, 10, 15,...
Size of the original will be on Y, Z : size y*2 size z*2, size y*3 size z*3, size y*4 size z*4,...
Rotation of the original will be: 10°, 20°, 30°...

Advantage : you can input any formulas and parameters, any conditions... you want! :)

I also like this approach, although it's a fan blade, not a propeller:
