    Bud-

    I have about 1900 hours on an IVO IFA 70" three-blade ultralight prop on my Model IV with the 912 80 hp. I wouldn't have any other prop, as it adds ideal climb and cruise capabilities, much to my personal satisfaction. It allows great power and cruise speed control. Can't say enough good about it and the IVO factory. I carry a full duplicate prop hub, parts, and blades in the aircraft at all times, as the prop has been known to give a few problems and necessitate a parts change-out. I use the mylar prop leading edge tapes (as used by Warp Drive) as opposed to the stainless steel tapes provided by IVO. They don't crack nor cut one's fingers when cleaning.

    And others!!!
    IVO seems to support the ultralight. The three blade they weigh in at 8 lbs while the medium would be 11 plus. Many have supported that view which is convincing. Leaves me with an unused medium hub but KF owners seem to all have such a collection. I guess that confirms we are experimental.

    I will soon be ordering the 3 blade ultralight quick (ground) adjustable to comply with the LSA rules although I have been a private ASELS pilot since 1959. Keep the aircraft L S A.

    I think someone had a right hand 3 blade IVO on barnstormers for sale a few days ago. About 25% less than new price. You will wait at least 2 months for an IVO prop. Bornstormers has been off line yesterday and today, so I can't add a link to the add. Jim Chuk
