I switched from a 3 blade 63" IVO to a 68" 2 blade IVO several years ago. The cruise speed did not change, nor did the top speed, but it gets off the ground quicker, even carrying 60 more pounds. The other difference is that the 2 blade has more vibration, but has a lower tone that I find easier on my ears. To keep the 68" quiet, the engine needed to be raised and inch. A 66" two blade would be a good choice. If it is a Firestar II, the spacer is needed, for any prop. Just my opinion.

In May I will be flying up to the Portland, Or. area just before the MV Fly-In. Give me a call and I can keep you in better climate (less heat), out of restricted and MOA areas. It will give you more options for airports verses the bare I-95, NV. route and less Mountains to fly over. I can tell you about Tucson and El Paso, you don't have to go around. I can give you some good fueling options, too. I have just flown the lower Texas route in December. I can let you know what it is like to fly from Tucson to MV if you want to know. Give me a call. Roger Lee Tucson, Az 520-574-1080 home 520-791-5286 work I'm at work today, Sat. the 10th. and Mon. the 12th. for 24 hrs. I'm a fireman. I'll be at home Sunday and Tuesday. I leave for California Wed. Any way you go will be fun! -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

You can fly under the outside control zone of class"C" without a radio or transponder. That being said I would at least have a radio. While in the Kolb I only had a radio and I would fly under Tucson class "C" airspace outside control zone under the 4200' floor at 3800' without any issues and that put me about 1000'-1200' AGL. Sometimes I would communicate with Tucson Approach just to let them know I was there and they never gave me any hassle. They were glad I called them. We have a lot of ultrlights in the Tucson area and this is how they traverse the area. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
