    I have been trying to get that myself. I will be swapping my GSC with an IVO whenever it shows and will post some weights.

    My understanding (unconfirmed) is that the GSC weighs around 3 lbs more than the Ivo in case that helps at all.

    Monocock:

    What blade diameter did you choose and what is your gearbox ratio?

    Hi at all,

    I had a chance to test my GSC 68" 3 blade and a Warp Drive 68" at my Kitfox III with 582 and 3:1 Ratio C-Box.
    Both Propeller had 5900-6000 static - GSC 18 degree at 75% and Warp 13,5 degree on tip.

    I like my GSC with about 180hrs and 4 years, it looks like the first day and performance well.

    May be someone notice the same performance or could recommend a better prop than GSC? I'm looking for a
    nice two blade or 3 blade prop if it works with my gearbox and gets a better Performance than this - any ideas?

    I have been quite happy going from my 3 blade 68" GSC to the 3 blade 68" Ivo. My gearbox ratio is 2.6x though. Much smoother and lighter than the GSC. Performance though similar (maybe 4 mph faster across the board with the IVO).

    Did you try to convert your 3 blade IVO in a 2 Blade Prop? I've read that's possible with an IVO-Prop?
