    Prop options? Ivo vs GSC
     I Just bought a C model avid with a 582 with the stol wing.   I am weighing my prop options.  Sounds like the ifa ivoprop would be perfect if the electric motors would last.  
    Does anyone have any experience with the GSC GTA IFA by cable or any other IFA they were happy with. 
    I saw an ivoprop medium on barnstormers for 1k.  If I were to go with the ivoprop I would prefer not to hang an extra 10 lbs on the nose and go with the light version. 
     
    Thanks in advance

    mine looks like the second one 
     
    the number is stamped into the gearbox not cast that's what made me think it was the ratio
     
    if its not the ratio I guess I could count the rotations and watch piston tdc

    Tjay
    was that powerfin prop built for 912 or 914?  I have not seen one that long. If it's for a 912 then the rotation is set up for right instead of left  correct?
     
    do you have a # for Roger Dunham or Charlie Brown?
     
    i found olmsteads Sky ranch the # listed is 208-263-0354 it was for lee and Angie I believe I left them a message.
    Has anyone had any experience with an ultraptop?
    thanks

    I'm guessing that means it's 3-1?
     
    if so is anyone running a prop this big and liking it?

    how can I tell which gearbox I have?  What is the story on your prop?  
    Mark
    I am actually in Sandpoint.  Small world.   Do you know a good tailwheel instructor in the area?  Or a reasonable hangar for rent
    thanks

    Thanks for the call joey.  Let me know what you find out from your dad on that prop
    Tjay I live in north Idaho.  a lot of mountains and trees so I probably shouldn't take the shortcut and do crank seals now  just wanted to get in the air sooner.
     
    where is the best place to get best quality? I have heard there are better seals now than factory rotax
