My fuel system is actually pretty simple, just one line coming from the tank, and
one after the fuel pump T-ed to each carb. I havn't had vapor lock problems
with the pure gas when it's been available, but don't know what the effect of
ethanol would be. The plane is a titan tornado so the whole thing is sitting
out in the breeze.
The plane sits a lot more this time of year as well (spring/summer is almost always
nasty flying weather) so I'm more inclined to keep 100LL in it in these times.
Otherwise, I think I'll just continue to use a blend, hopefully that'll mitigate
the bad effects of both ethanol and the lead..... or maybe it'll multiply it,
who knows with my luck ;)

I have a 701/912/amphib with a warp three blade which has given me good
service for over 500 hrs. I adjust the Warp at 8.5' for general flying and
10.5' for long Xcountry flights. I'm thinking of trying an Ivo in-flight
adjustable to eliminate the required changing of pitch.
I've read some negative comments on the net concerning Ivo propellers and
wondered if anyone has had good results with the 912/Ivo combination?
Please reply on the list or directly to me.

The Ivo is a great prop except for one thing: the stainless steel leading
edge tape. You have to replace it often, and it starts to crack after about
10 hours. I don't have anything to compare to but I bet some other props
are smoother running, if they have leading edge protection permanently
installed. You can run without tape, but the leading edge will erode if you
fly in rain or snow. The Ivo prop itself is very strong and durable, super
easy to adjust, and though I have no experience with the in-flight
adjustable I think it works fine. A friend of mine has one for sale (just
the adjustable motor and linkage, not the prop).
