X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I am not quite to buying a propeller yet but I received a lot of valuable input from the Lakeland Air Show. Most of it came by the aide of Marv, our benefactor. He told me about the IVO props and we were fortunate enough to spend a good bit of quality time talking with the IVO guys at the show. Neat Stuff and cheap. And very light. A lot of faith in structural qualities and properties of Composite materials. Just my opinion. Marv can recite all the specifications. In discussions with Captain Mike and Jim Parish during late night coffee and sanding on the Lancair....Mike says he doesn’t like the ideal of bending the prop on purpose! Jim says he saw a comparison with Warpdrive. They hung a weight off the ends of the props. He said the IVO tip was hanging down quite a bit. It made me think of a heavily bowed fishing rod. He said the Warpdrive was straight. Then someone said. The Warp was not in-flight adjustable. And someone else said they had seen an "add on" for the warp drive that made it in-flight adjustable for $350 or so. There was a chuckle followed by the comment; the guy who builds the warp drive was trying to figure out how to make the prop in-flight adjustable when the other guy figured it out first.. The other guys is selling them for around $350 to $400 in the meantime....Isn't Experimental Aviation the greatest! That's about all the conversation I remember because I was busy sanding out one hell of a lot of Flox! another story from Sun-Fun. It looks like to me you could get into an in-flight adjustable prop for around $2200 using new technology. I could be spelling these name wrong but the meat of the discussion is there are some real alternatives to traditional adjustable props.

We are in the middle of that process right now and could use some input from someone who has been there.
