Hi Mark,

I put on an IVO Inflight adjustable back in October. Medium 3 blade on a 912ULS, It works well. there is a controller that can be added to it to make it a constant speed propeller, check out the IVO website for details on it. The airmaster looks like a real nice setup , but it is pricey !

Hi Kevin
here is how i use my Medium IVO and find it efectif , tell me if u use it similar to this,,,

Takeoff - fine prop to maximum
Level - trottle back to 5200 rpm
- coarse prop to 5000 rpm and 31 in./Hg
landing - fine prop to max

the max fine position is when i see my voltmeter droping more voltage meaning end of travel on motor screw , this point is 15 degree at 9 inch on blade ,i measured it .
and for my 5000 rpm and 31 in/Hg it s 18 degree at 9 inches on blade .
