Hank,
No. No problem with loose blades yet but I don't have that
many hours on it. About 35 or so. The current hub is
knurled to put a better bite on the blades and the bolt
torque values were increased as well to 55 ft/lbs.
There is a new, higher pitched version of the IVO magnum
available now but I don't know anything about it. Hopefully
they have increased the pitch at the root of the blades for
high speed aircraft such as the Lancairs.

Thanks Neil. I wondered about the fact that the
inboard portions of the prop
could not change much.
Have you had any problem with loose blades which
is what seems to turn
Lancair off the propeller?
