Larry,
I don't know whether they've actually put one on a Stratus yet, but I
don't see why it wouldn't work. You might want to contact them & ask.

It's an electric adjustable. THey add their modified hub w/ controller to
a standard WarpDrive prop. You could continue to use your old blades, and if
you don't like it, can switch back to the standard WarpDrive hub and continue
with ground adjust as before. From what I read, they perform much better than
the Ivo props.

Larry,
I've been shopping for years and have many emails and calls to over a
dozen in-flight adjustable prop people. Found a few new Euro ones at Osh
that I'm looking at too. Most are 20-25lbs (like Airmaster and Quinti) vs.
10-12 lbs for fixed or gnd adjust . Some are lighter (IVO, Proplink,
Cobra?) but I asked around including Mykal and I don't think anyone has
tried one on a Stratus (but "it should be ok" according to most prop and
drive people I've asked for opinions). I got the AMAX phone # but haven't
called yet, maybe someone has tried one in AUS but Airmaster didn't know of
any.
Anyway, I have lot's of info to share but too busy right now. I'll make a
note and send you something this week.
