Hi Dravenelle, congrats on your fly. glad to hear your happy with the HKS and the Kitfox, as for the prop when I converted my Model III to the HKS I originally used the GCS 3 blade 66" prop I had been running, but I found that the GCS was not the best prop for my needs, I went to a 2 blade 68" Warp Drive prop and couldn't be happier with the Warp Drive. Good luck and flying.

Hello Dravenelle, My Kitfox, a Model 1 with an Hks 700 E has a 69inch Varilux 2 blade ground adjustable prop. It is performing very well for me. I have the pitch set to not turn more than 5600rpm which has been giving excellent performance. The Hks engine so far is working very well in the Model 1 airframe. Good luck with yours.

I appreciate that
