    Norm, I have used a 70" IFA IVO on my Model IV Speedster 1200 with a 912ul for over 1800 hours--works wonderfully well. I suggest you start with the 70" before cutting to 68". Also, I use the mylar leading edge tapes I get from Warpdrive--they don't crack like the ss tapes do, and hold up forever.

    Good Plan I have a friend that cut his prop and was never happy with it after that. I will try full 72 first and go from there.

    I agree to try the prop before cutting it down. I have a 72 inch that I will use for tbe best off the water performance, at the expense of top speed. I don't have a 70 inch to try, but that could be the best all around prop size for climb and cruise. So, if you do cut your blades down, try 70 inches first.
