The Warp is way tougher.

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! Mahesh 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.

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.
