I have 140 hours on IVO in my homebuilt with 200hp Franklin. The prop
plates are knurled and I have never seen any blade shifting - make
sure to follow IVO instructions and for proper bolt torque and check
the torque once in a while. I have some vibration but not excessive.
There is an advantage to those plastic blades - had a near gear up
landing and the blades broke "nicely" - no damage to the driveshaft
(had it magnafluxed). The main advantage with my inflight adjustable
IVO is good takeoff performance (I need it with my fast canard) and
decent cruise. Some day when I have excess money I would like to try a
Catto or similar wood prop for performance comparison.

I have heard that IVO does not tolerate Lyc and other four bangers
especially big ones. The torsional pulses are too great for the
blades. A smooth six or auto adaption is not such problem. Ivo will
not sell you a prop for a Lyc four banger.

Hello,

Any comment about this prop.
