My trusty old 582 is due for a full rebuild, and as part of the rebuild I have
been thinking of either trying to milk a couple more horsepower out of it via
some old 2-stroke polishing techniques, or maybe getting one of Rotax Rick's engines.
Either way, I will need either a C or an E gearbox. I have an opportunity to get
an E box for a good price, but it is 3.47:1 ratio.
I am in over my head.
I flew a friends MKIII several years ago with a 582 and that ratio, but I don't
remember what prop he had, how many blades, prop length, etc.
The gearbox is off a PPG/Trike rig and comes with a beat up 3 blade Warp Drive
prop, blades will probably need replacing.
Seems I remember hearing years ago that either the Ivo or the Warp does not like
turning slow with a LOT of pitch.
Anybody on the list using that ratio, and if so, what prop are you using and how
do you like it?

Richard:
May not be a good comparison, but for what it is worth, pushing my R503, DCDI,
dual carb, I have a 'C' Box with the 3.47 ratio, driven by a Powerfin 3 Blade,
F Model, 68".
Have no complaints with this set up.

Thanks George, I am hoping that someone with a 3.47:1 reduction and a 68" three
blade prop on a 582 will chime in.
