As stated on today's list, I fly a Kitfox with a 0240B engine. I have owned
the plane for 3 weeks and know very little about the engine. I have
subscribed to this list to become educated about my engine. At the moment
the only questions I have are: What propeller options are there for this
engine? Does one out perform another. What about the IVO propeller with
electric pitch adjustment? I currently have a two blade wooden propeller.
Inquiring minds must know!

I also have a Kitfox Vixen (Series 5) with the Conti I0-240. This past weekend I found two cracked blades (near the hub). I can't (and neither will Warp Drive) recommend their prop for the 240. The engine has a very sharp impulse and basically just jerks the prop apart (only while starting, stopping and idling below 1100). I have ordered an IVO Magnum...today! We'll see what happens.
