    Richard, Any adjustable should help you out to start with. I have used Ivo medium and found it easy to adjust but cannot say that it performs and better than a properly adjusted GSC 68 " or a WARP 68 " or even a IVO UL 3 blade. We splitting hairs here. Summer time you should be 1050 to 1150 EGT with a plugs a nice med to light brown. If you cannot get a handle on your EGT now then when colder temps come you will have troubles. I have flown today in 4 different Rotax 2 strokes and all worked flawless. Heading to lake now --cya I am in London Ontario.

    Hello Rical26 I also am looking for an IVO IFA or constant speed prop to fit a 912UL (80HP) on a Kitfox Vixen. If Rich is not interested I may be. Is this what you have? How many hours and price please. Thanks Don don@hudgeon.com On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 6:45 PM, <ctmcdowell@comcast.net> wrote: > Hello Rich. I may have that IVO prop you are looking for.

    From: "WurlyBird" <james.t.trizzino@us.army.mil>
    I can concede that the GSC was less then perfect in pitch when I took it off to put on the IVO, that was the main reason I got the IVO. Performance was consistent with the GSC from spring to summer to fall and when winter came I just couldn't keep EGTs from pushing 1175-1200 indicated at 5800-6000. So it was not perfect in pitch. Where I have to disagree with you is that there will be marked differences when you start going from three blade to two blade props and start increasing prop diameter. If I remember correctly (this is a crap shoot) 2 blade to 3 blade means greater pitch for the same static thrust which translates to higher cruise speed. Greater diameter means same pitch gives more static thrust and cruise stays the same. So it is realistic to see an increase in cruise and climb going from a 68" 3 to a 72" 2. Also my 10 mph gain was "indicated" and I don't trust my ASI since I can push Vne in level flight at full throttle, doors off. So it is probably more like 6-7 mph if I calibrated it. -------- James Kitfox 3 / 582 / 72&quot; IVO 2 blade GA 50 hrs on the Fox in between deployments, now she lies in wait Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=310443#310443
