Oh, and apparently the IVO" Patriot" blade is a 35-70" pitch as well, so it needs the 100 hp 912uls to be most effective.

Trying not to sound too negative, I don't think IVO themselves understand what I'm trying to explain. I've called them on my seaplane prop problem of not getting enough rpm on takeoff and their answer was to sell me the new Patriot blade, which would have been no better than the 35-70 " inch pitch

Just curious, what diameter were you running with the two different pitch ranges? I have the 80hp and the 35-70 pitch and 70"diamter (can't get but 4500rpm static). I'm wondering if I can trim the blades and still use the prop without having to buy the 18-52 pitch.
