IVO Prop Feedback (GSC to IVO)

2 posts in this topic

Posted (edited)

I will soon be ordering an IVO to replace my 68" 3 blade GSC.  582, C box, 2.62 Kitfox III.

Ivo is suggesting a 68" 3 blade ultralight.  I have heard (somewhere) that maybe a 70" 3 blade Ivo UL is better in this application.

Anyone have experience in this arena?  

With regard to CG, anyone know what this GSC weighs in at?  I see the IVO at ~ 8 lbs.  Guessing the GSC might be twice that?

I ran an IVO 70" 3 blade on a 582 with 3-1 C box and it seems just about right.  Might have too much prop with a 70" 3 blade with the 262 ratio.  Might consider just going 2 blade 72" on the IVO.  I have a 70" warp 2 blade taper tip with 2.58 ratio and it seems just the right size.  Also, I think Joey has a 2 blade 70" warp on a 262 ratio.  If the 72" IVO doesn't work right, you can always add another blade and cut them down to whatever length you want.  Joey and I both have 582 engines as well.  Jim Chuk
