That ain't no clone. It is a stock Mk111 with a whole bunch of mods.

Darn good looking bird too Woody. Is there a noticable lessening of pitch up
and down with thrust changes compared to the standard configuraton? I would
think it would be less sensitive to pitching up and down with the improved
airflow to the lower part of the prop arc. Kirk

Gang,
Found another saved "Prop" message in my personal folder from Dennis S. This
one was posted 11-2-01.
Enjoy, Tim
-----------Following message from Dennis Souder-----------
"The Ivo was my favorite prop particuarily on the FS and FF. In the speed
range of these AC, the Ivo does an excellent job and is very smooth running.
Some time ago Phil Lockwood was experimenting with his Aircam (with 582's at
the time) and tried different props on it at the same time. He could tell
by the yawing of the AC which prop was developing more thrust. His
findings: the Ivo was the winnner. (This was before Powerfin came along.)
The other big advatage of the Ivo was the 2-1/2" Ivo prop spacer which place
the Ivo further from the trailing edge of the wing. This reduced the noise
considerably. The spacer works with the Ivo because the flexible blades
reduces the vibration transmitter to the hub. This is most helpful on the
FS2 where the prop is closer to the trailing edge than the other Kolb
models.
Had many hours on an Ivo on 447's, 503's, 582,s and 912's, never had a
"proplem"
Dennis"

Hi Tim/All:
I guess it boils down to how far you have to walk
to get back home. One of the reasons I chose Warp
Drive in 1993, and have not looked back since.
June 1994, Sparky, private airstrip, south of
Delta Junction, Alaska. My Warp Drive was
responsible for preventing the end of my first
flight to Dead Horse, Alaska. I turned it into a
Bush Hog when I inadvertently tried to land on
what I thought was a grass strip with tall weeds.
Turned out to be tall Alder, the famous Alaska Bush.
Guess we have about beat the prop thread to death.
You all know where I stand on props though.
Take care,
john h

I must be too used to Kolbs. I never notice any problem with pitch up or
down. It seems to want to leave the ground about 32 mph. The new club Mk111
takes off at the same speed and it was built with the factory standard gap
seal.Only Kolb I have flown that flies hands off. I still can;t believe it.

Woody,
You got to share the secret with us. I use a digital level, two or three
rolls of string and a couple of days when I do my rigging and they still
want to roll left. Is this just me or is it the torque of the 2 stroke
pusher motor? How about you fellows with the 912's, do you roll right or
left when you let go of the stick? Before trim tabs and such of course.
Later,
John Cooley

John C/Gang:
That is part of the problem.
Doesn't matter which way the prop turns, it will affect roll.
The chance of not getting it rigged exact is another. If
anyone has an "exact" rigged Kolb, it probably happened by
accident. Chances are much greater to be the other way around.
I rig the wings like Homer told me to in his plans and
instruction book. When I do it that way, I can squeeze the
max performance out of my airplane. It is unstable by
design. Some have experimented with increased dihedral to
increase stability, but in the process are sacrificing
performance. I am not indicating increased airspeed, but
lift, climb and maneuver performance.
There are times in smooth air I can trim up Miss P'fer to
fly for a period of time hands off. Enough time to unfold
and fold a map, do my chores around the cockpit.
Rough air knocks it off its even keel if I don't help it out
a little.
Take care,
john h

John H. and John W. or any other John that is going,
What day(s) do you plan to be at Kitty Hawk? I may try to intersect your
flight path and join you at Kitty Hawk. Wouldn't be able to keep up for the
whole flight but would like to join you in NC.

Since there has been some discussion on the list lately about making sure
that your prop blades are pitched the same, thought I would add two
pictures to my web page showing my ultra cheapo (but very accurate) blade
pitch checker. It won't tell you the angle, but it will tell you if the
blades are at the same angle or not.
