"I don't have first hand experience..."

Please, Please do "correct" research on the IVO before you make
conclusions on rumours. For example N570 has over 570+ hours on a
220hp Franklin with IVO without problems and N6Q has 160+ hrs.
Obviously there are successfull high HP IVO uses. Again, its not the
horsepower, but the smoothness of the engine. See my other post above.

Please try normal objective language instead of using emotional,
prejudicial terms like "mickey mouse ... inspection" or "do ....
research on ALL THE PROBLEMS .... IVO Prop" - rather than of "do
research on problems AND successes of IVO". IVO is quite open and
honest to tell you that they will not sell their props for certain
engines.



Sorry if I offended you but I wouldn't touch that prop with a ten foot pole. I
did clearly state that I did not have first hand experience with the prop and
simply urged the requestor to do a very complete job of research on the prop
before buying one. I will not argue that there are some "successful"
installations of the IVO prop, there are and that is an indisputable fact.
There have also been many reported problems with the IVO prop which must be
totally understood before buying one. The poster did not specifically state
which engine he was using only the report HP range. That range is most
frequently associated with the Lycoming O-360 and IO-360 engines which
according to YOUR OWN post have serious problems with the IVO Prop. Now where
the HELL to you get emotional and prejudicial from that. And Yes, I still
maintain the foil tape inspection process on the IVO prop is a micky mouse
deal.
