 Posted: Tue Jul 08, 2008 2:49 pm Post subject: IVO Prop |
 |
|
Help please....
I'm about to make a purchase of an inflight adjustable IVO prop. I have a Model IV Speedster with a Rotax 912 80hp. The question I have is what length prop is used with this setup? They seem to range between 52" to 74" . This is confusing to me. Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Just remember that once you install an inflight adjustable prop your fox
will never qualify for light sport again. While you might not be worried
about that it might effect the resale value of your plane.

In your aircraft log on prop. Use IvoProp electric adjustable. Don't say inflight adjustable. Later C you can put the switch some where else which makes it ground adjustable C electric.

I have the same airplane/engine and use the IVO 70" Ultralight/Patriot blades. I've flown it for over 900 hours and is proving to be one of the best investments I've made in the aircraft. Don't worry about what the guys are saying about not being able to revert back to Light Sport. I thought about it when the new classification came out and then decided to just go ahead and enjoy the aircraft and worry about that when it happens, if it ever does. Purchase the prop through Kitfox (as far as I know, they're still a distributor) and get their adapter to run the wires through the gearbox to put the brushes inside the engine compartment--keeps them dry and they last a lot longer (smaller radius to turn), as in forever. Go for it!!!

Thanks Stan and everyone else for the reply. I now have more information than what I started with and will help in the decision making.
