You might want to contact them & ask. www.airmasterpropellers.com 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.

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. gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Raker" Subject: Stratus-List: In-flight adjustable prop > --> Stratus-List message posted by: Phil Raker > > 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.
