Bearair Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Read through the whole site, and Variprop claims that a 2 blade weighs less than 16 lbs. If that's the case, then a 3 blade would probably come in less than 25. If that's the case, I'll be interested when I get closer to done!

CBarber Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I too have the inflight adjustable IVO three blade prob mounted on the back of my RWS PSRU/Rotary. I am just not flying yet <g>. I am in the development stages of a running engine and have even taxied around a bit. All the best, Chris Quote Christopher Barber Velocity SE/FG w/yoke.

jeff122670 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 ok, i know this is NO SCIENTIFIC explanation, but IVO is still in business and it has been YEARS since i have heard of a problem. i think one of the previous posts was correct in saying that with the CORRECT engine (which we now know is power pulse dependant), it IS a nice prop... see, dont you love experimental airplanes.....always something to learn!!

CBarber Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yup. Also, as has been mentioned, can you really blame IVO for mis-use of their product (yeah, I know, that statement coming from an attorney may seem somewhat shocking ) All the best, Chris Quote Christopher Barber Velocity SE/FG w/yoke.
