Subject: | Re: IVO Prop Vs Warp Drive - Rotax 503 - FS2 - Advice |
A friend who has run both has told me the Warp produced a lot more thrust than
a same sized Ivo on a 503 Phantom he used to own.
The Warp is way tougher.

I have a 2.28 'B' Box and my current prop is a 3 blade 72 Inch IVO.
It has never given me an issues in the last 8 years, Did well on climb and
cruise, but if there something better out there in the market then I will
surely like to try it out!

Check with the Warp factory, but I think you will find the Warp is way
too heavy for a "B" box.
Having said that, I ran a 68" 3 blade Warp with taper tips on my FS II..
I had a "C" box w/ 3.47=1 ratio.
I could out=climb every other FS around. It is the toughest prop there
is.

Mahesh I have run both props in these recomendations. The cruise was faster on
the two blade Warp by 3 or 4mph but the IVO better in take off. the IVO was
definately noticably smoother. On a Mark III or heavy airplane I would definately
use the Warp but for an Ulltralight I prefer the smoother IVO. I have recently
swapped my 3 Blade 60" IVO onto a 503 powered Firestar KXP that had a 64"
Warp tapered tip and that owner really liked the IVO better but could not afford
at at this time. I have it for sale for $350 plus shipping. It is in excellant
shape with all new quick adjust hub 67 hours ago. I kept it when I sold
my Firestar several years ago intending to use it on my next UL but bought
a Mark III instead. I do like the Warp for its durability but liked the IVO
better on the Firestar. Both good props for that airplane. You can contact me
off list if you want it. PS 2.58-1 was the gearbox ratio on mine and the 503
that we just installed it on.
