  1.  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

    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

    how can I tell which gearbox I have?  What is the story on your prop?

    I am actually in Sandpoint.  Small world.   Do you know a good tailwheel instructor in the area?  Or a reasonable hangar for rent

    thanks

  5. 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


  6. i bought bigfoots avid he had posted on here.   I need to replace the cross shaft seals.  Should I pull the motor do the crank seals at this time or..........?

     

    need a prop and tires as well

     

    hope to have her back in the air soon

     

    thanks in advance
