My experience to date with the Ivoprops is great but even Ivo acknowledges that the Magnum works more harmoniously with bigger hp engines--something to do with harmonics and frequency of pulses. I do intend to write to this forum a complete report on this prop at about the 125-hour point so that I can speak and recommend with some experience. If you need further or sooner discussion regarding this prop and how to install, etc., please email me direct; gregsays@swbell.net. To your specific question of the application of the Ivoprop to high altitudes, I have never landed at more than 2300' but I do climb well at high altitudes. Even at 13000 feet on a summer's day, my plane climbs at 700 feet per minute (long wings and 3-blade prop) without excess heat or effort.
