�I am trying to get some feedback on putting an IVO Prop- Magnum�(electric constant speed) on my RV8A with IO360A1A- 200 hp engine. 

   Anyone have any experience with this prop? ts lighter and less expensive than the hartzell. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about it?

   Thanks,

   Neil (NYC)

Google "IVO prop" and "Lycoming" and you will get a lot of  

interesting hits.  Mostly unfavorable stuff, but a lot of it is  

dated.  I'm running a Whirlwind 151 which was a little expensive but  

is very lightweight and smooth. I know that some builders with auto  

conversions are pleased with the IVO but I'm not aware of any with  

long-term experience on a Lycoming, in particular the IO-360.



You occasionally see used Hartzell props at very reasonable prices,  

if that's the primary consideration.



I'd feel a lot better with a FP wood prop if I wanted cheap and  

lightweight, or the whirlwind if I just wanted lightweight.



My $.02
