As mentioned on this list previously, I have been particularly enamored
with the Kiev prop since I first saw it on a Highlander. Its a beautiful prop
with semi scimitar blades.
I have been waiting to hear about the results of a test conducted by the SE
rep for Paradise aircraft (Brazilian SLSA) who is a friend of mine.
Paradise offers their aircraft with the Warp prop but wanted to try some others
in
the interest of efficiency. They tried the new Sensenich propeller but only
realized a mile or two diff in speed and it was a little rougher running
than the Warp. The current prop they are testing is the Kiev. Preliminary
reports are showing a 10mph increase in cruise speed with turbine like
smoothness in similar flying conditions as the Warp. Well, that was enough for
me, so
I ordered one.
I am currently writing down all the numbers,etc that I am getting from my
tapered tip Warp prop. I will compare the two when I have it installed and
report the change, if any here.

Given both airspeed and rate of climb are off in the same direction I believe this
points, as Guy suggested, to a static port problem.

| Subject: | IVO install spec, help please, and FAST! |
So after a month and a half of waiting for the mail as well as the temps being
in the teens and twenties my "new" propeller has arrived. So now I really want
to get this thing put on and signed off so I can go enjoy the afternoon.
Can anyone tell me the mounting specifications for an IVO medium 3 blade being
mounted as a 2 blade? I did a quick search and can't find the info. I want to
be sure I am mounting it properly and everything is torqued accordingly. Thanks
for the help.

Never mind, I called IVO and they have all the info on it's way in digits and hard
copy.
Someone can delete this whole thread if they want.

James,
IVO medium as straight bolt on application.
on a 582 you can only sue 2 blades and use the 2 extra blocks that should be
supplied.
Set Take off RPM for about 6200 to 6500 RPM STATIC and wide open tied down.
Also since temps are colder verify that your needles are adjusted full rich (
the clip should be on the lowest notch on your needles )
Stock needles will be marker 11G2 I think -------
Call me if you need help
PS i got the parcel you sent
many thanks.

Holy cow! In all of my time modifying cars, trucks, bikes, and anything else I
could get my hands on I have never seen a single bolt on component that could
so drastically improve performance. Admittedly my GSC needed a little more bite
to it but I did not want to mess with that process, but my KF never cruised
any faster then 65-70 and today I was cruising at 80, verified by GPS in multiple
directions, at a lower RPM. All my temps are great and it even sounds a
lot quieter/better tone. Take off role is about the same, 150 ft, and climb
is about 2-300 fpm better. I think. I have trouble NOT doing a zoom climb to
pattern altitude which is all the higher I ever get. I still need to take out
a little pitch because I can barely get over 6200 in any configuration besides
a dive so i expect take off to get a little shorter. More to come but for
now I will say that the IVO is the best investment I have made for flying since
I bought the plane.

James good stuff.
Like i said -start at 6200 to 6500 on the IVO static and adjust from there. You
might even get away with going a bit more rpm.
What are you using for a Tach ? A tiny tach is cheap and accurate.
Glad to hear you finally un leased power to closer where it should be.
