Hi, after trying everything with no success about my high EGT, I'm looking for a IVO medium 72"  2 blades prop. I want to thank all of you that suggested ideas and opinions.

Richard, Any adjustable should help you out to start with.

I have used Ivo medium and found it easy to adjust but cannot say that it performs and better than a properly adjusted GSC 68 " or a WARP 68 " or even a IVO UL 3 blade.  We splitting hairs here. 

Summer time you should be 1050 to 1150 EGT with a plugs a nice med to light brown. If you cannot get a handle on your EGT now then when colder temps come you will have troubles.



I have flown today in 4 different Rotax 2 strokes and all worked flawless. 

Heading to lake now --cya

I am in London Ontario.



Drop me a line

Hello Rich.  I may have that IVO prop you are looking for. The one I have is an 'in flight adjustable'. Is this something you are looking for?

Hello Rical26



I also am looking for an IVO IFA or constant speed prop to fit a 912UL (80HP) on a Kitfox Vixen. If Rich is not interested I may be. Is this what you have? How many hours and price please.



Thanks

Hi RIch.  Been so nice the past few days that I've been flying till my arms hurt. Haven't seen much of my e-mails.  

I will take some photos as that are some other inquires about it so I will send all some photos. I'm sorry that I have no records with this prop. I see no cracks, nicks or any sign of repairs to it. It is missing one of the CarbFib spacers.  As I told another guy that asked about it, as soon as the Phillies beat the Padres, I will take some photos of it.  

   I cannot use it under my Sport Pilot Cert. I fly my Trike under the Sport Pilot and the Kitfox will be flown under the Sport Pilot rules. I wil send you the photos either today or tomorrow.

Thanks Don for the reply. When the Phills beat the Padres in the next hour of so,  I will take some photos and send them out with as much info as I have.  There was no log book with this prop as well as all the other stuff I purchased.

Rich. Attached are 4 of many photos I took yesterday.  If I didn't mention before, there is one of the two Carbon Fiber spacer blocks missing. I don't know anything about the adjustable pitch props. The 'Tip to Tip length is 72".   

I didn't get any log book with this prop. During very close inspection, I cannot see any signs of damage or previous repair. Haven't tried the motor yet. Not sure how to hook up the wires. I can't use it with my Sport Pilot cert.  Haven't considered a price. There are three other people interested in this prop.
