This prop doesn't have the large "easy to adjust external screw and lock nut") So it's at 6 degrees as I read the "no-cam" default. Ideally, I need to find/make/buy 3 cams, and a set of shims.. but I can make either if needed. The shims just round plates, of unknown thickness (at this point) that stack in front, or behind the prop blades, to move the 3 cams. Not sure if Ivo will send me any drawings since they are discontinued parts. But apparently they just have a screw (and some Lock-tite) holding them onto the end of the torque rod in the prop blade. If anyone has converted from 3 blade to 2, and has a spare blade w/cam, and would be willing to sell 3, or 1, or send me one cam and shim to duplicate, I'd gladly return with a coupon to your pub of choice, or health-food store, (I find them to be one and the SAME place myself.. but others might not). Someone's junk drawer probably has one (or more). But if like my shop, 3 weeks to find them would be the problem.. LOL. Any productive thoughts, sources, manifest instructions, etc, all welcome!

You adjusted it by the addition of thin washers to increase pitch. More washers more pitch????? At least I think that is the way it goes. I still have some of that stuff, but I need to know for sure what it is that you need. If you can be more specific - pictures- then I may be able to help. Having said all that- If it was me I would just buy a new prop., and I would get a two blade. A 503 on that plane is going to be to "me" marginal at best. A two blade will give you better climb, which to me is more useful than quiet or faster cruise. Your cruise speed is going to be probably a bit less than 60 MPH without some clean up of drag factors any way. Of course every thing that could be considered advice only mirrors what suits me, nothing more. The offer still holds however- I know I have a three inch spacer and several shims and plates. If you can use them, no charge, just postage.

If I am correct what you need is the lever on the end of the prop and perhaps the plate and spacer. The blade was on a 447 and still running when I flipped upside down, so I don't think the blade is usable. If any of the rest is of use let me know.

My reduction box didn't have the extension, so that, and the plate, and shims (if you have any, I could use). I sent you a PM. (and a text). Get back with me, and I'll send an address.
