I started with the ground adjustable, but plan
to add the in-flight adjustable after getting some time in the plane, and making
sure that I don't have any issues with the prop. I think that the blade
crack problem they had in the past were all with Lycomings, and due to the
strong pulses. I shouldn't have these issues with the rotary.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the
comments. As I mentioned, I'm not afraid to run an IVO, as I agree that the
cracking will have no effect on us. The biggest hang-up I had with the IVO
was this mysterious high speed problem that many people have. Tracy said
his climbed like crazy, but seemed to have a bunch of drag at higher
speeds. Dave Atkins reshaped the hub area some, but I could never get a
description of what he did. Pushers seemed to be less affected, perhaps
because the fuselage blocks more of the drag area of the hub??? I'll call
IVO today, and see what they would recommend.
Cheers,
Rusty (2 or 3 blade, long or
short, just don't know)
