Wanted: IVO prop 3 blade LH

Hi guys,  I'm in the market for a 3 blade IVO for the Kitfox 1.  With the 2 blade Warp I had a vibration at cruise RPMs I didn't like.  A buddy of mine had a 64" IVO that we tried today, and the vibration went away.  I had tried 2 other new Warp drive blades and there was no difference between either set of Warp blades.  I've know that 2 blades were not as smooth as 3, but didn't realize it would make so much difference.  On the other hand, some times several things combine to cause a resonance.  At full throttle, the Warp was much smoother than at 5000 to 5500 RPM.  IVO recommends 68" three blade for a 582 with B gearbox at 2.58 to 1 gear ratio.  I can cut down a longer one and if all I can find is 66" I might go with that.  Anyway, what have you got?  JImChuk

Jim, I am sure you have been watching ebay - the only one I have seen is new IVO-IFA $550 and no bids, but it is only 3-blade 52".  EDMO
