I had an IVO inflight adjustable prop on my 601. It gave good performance and the advantage of adjustable was great. The only problem I had was that the slip ring, which was aluminum, would corrode between flights (very quickly) and wear the brushes out rapidly. I finally gave up and bought an Arplast inflight adjustable which has performed really well.

From: "Thom Riddle" Carl, I've never had an IVO in-flight adjustable but did have GSC (made in BC, Canada) in-flight adjustable on my Titan Tornado 912UL. Instead of electrical adjustment, the GSC is purely mechanical with a vernier control in the cockpit that looks and operates just like a constant speed prop control but without the governor. I liked the mechanical system because it was simple and you could make precise adjustments by knowing how many turns from take-off to cruise. In my case it was exactly 4 turns between take-off, landing, initial climb pitch and cruise pitch. The prop blades are beautiful wood with hard-as-rock urethane leading edges machined into the blade with nothing to replace. If I was not in the LSA mode now, I would have one on my Allegro. -------- Thom Riddle N221FA Allegro 2000 912UL N197BG FS1/447 -------------------- Scratch any cynic, he said, and youll find a disappointed idealist.

From: "RockyRim" Hey Carl, I'm running an IVO Ultralight IFA on my my 912S. I am thrilled with the performance. You do get rid of the SS tape first thing, that's easy. And apply the 3M Clear rock guard and your're good to go. I bought mine from John McBean at Kitfox Aircraft since that's what I fly, and he has a thru the hub controller that will last about 5 times longer than the stock IVO. I believe the numbers we see on climb and cruise put this combination at the top of the heap. If you're not too concerned about weight and have a thicker wallet, the IVO medium will give you a smoother start up and shut down. Have fun.

Where did you get the 3M tape from?

From: "RockyRim" Craig Sorry, I've been gone all day. I got my initial batch from Warp drive (hey?) and then 20 yds. of it after doin' a bunch of Google. Let me go down to my hanger and I'll get back to you with that supplier. It may be tomorrow.
