| Subject: | E gear box question |
I am planning on switching from a C gear box to the E gear box on my 582 gr
ey head engine which is mounted on a Kitfox 3 with the round bump cowl. Th
e literature indicates that the E box is 1.5 inches longer than the C box.
Can anyone out there tell me if there is going to be a problem between the
cowling and the new gear box? Also, has anyone been running a 3 blade IVO
medium prop on a 3 to 1 gear box? I am currently using a 2 blade medium I
VO and have heard that a 3 blade on that gear box would cause a problem. T
he original configuration when I purchased the kit was using a 3 blade GSC
prop which I really liked. Any comments? I am the original builder.

| Subject: | Re: E gear box question |
I have been running a c box with a ivo 3 blade with no problems for
about 300 hours. I have had no problems with resonant harmonics or
vibrations of yet. I am aware of those issues. I put metalic tape each
side of the blade joints at the root to see if there is any movement at
all. I am not sure if that is a good precaution, but thats what I do.
For what its worth, I have never heard of any problems with anyone. If
there are any. I would like to know the details.
