Measure the angle (v. Vertical) of a plane (rule) across the back side of your prop at 10" in from the tip. I'll do the same with mine next week. As I remember, the RV guys have about 15*, maybe 17*. Right now I have my Ivo set at approx. 57".. Regards, TJ > My prop is a wood 71" dia with 65" pitch made by a local prop builder. We've tried a couple different tapes including New Glasair's gap seal tape on my buddy's glastar and they all seem to crack in the cold air, I was told check with the glider club to see what they use.
