What props are available for the 582?

Much to my dismay, my Mod IV project needs a replacement prop. In reading the info on GCS's website I found the 5 year TBO. The blades don't look too great around the hub anyway. So, what are my other choices? Wood looks nice, but here in Indiana weather changes quickly and it could get very wet. Price is also an issue, so if a fixed pitch is less money that's fine with me.
Thanks,
Jay

Jay- you might look into an Ivo prop. Probably the lowest cost composite on the market, pretty efficient, durable and light weight.

I know Kitfox Aircraft is a dealer for Ivo.

I would make a call to Ivo for their recommendation for the right prop for your engine/gearbox combination.

Thanks. I think I have the C gearbox. I'll shop them today if I have a chance.

I have a couple of props I have thought of selling.

I have a 2-blade Taper tip Warp Drive that looks like new. It only has a few hours on it. I removed it from a RANS S7 to install a 3-blade Whirl Wind. The Warp actually performed better than the Whirl Wind does, but I needed nickle leading edges due to going on floats and the Warp did not have them.

I also have the GSC that is on the Kitfox I just bought. You can read about it in other threads on here. The prop looks very good and has never been flown, only a couple of hours for test runs on the plane. As you said, I really like the look of the wood prop on the Kitfox, it just seems to fit the overall look of the plane moreso than the newer composite types. I was going to keep it on the Kitfox but just recieved another Whirl Wind so not going to use it.

I was able to get a new WhirlWind 75" STOL for a Christmas present that will be going on the RANS S7. I will be taking the current 70" WW off the RANS and installing it on the Kitfox. This leaves me with two spare props that I really don't need.

I will be driving through Indiana next week with my Kitfox in tow. If you might be interested in buying either of these props I might be able to bring it with and meet you if it is not out of my way.

(Jay has a two-stroke, which turns the opposite direction than your 912. These wouldn't work for him.)

LOL....Gee, I wasn't even thinking. Maybe he needs to get a different engine then!
