    Thanks for the info that is what I was looking for. THis is going on an older 912 UL so I may have to cut the prop to 68. It is currently 72. Because it is an older 912 the prop hub from the 582 and electric setup will fit. Odd that you can't get the IVO to depitch enough to use the power.
    Thanks again for the comments.

    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.
