fred cenko Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 ju Fred do you notice much improvement with the new prop.? Just put the new prop on today and hand cranked her over today and really noticed the ease and lightness while cranking over .Couldnt go for a flight today its been pissing down all day.I have some details of the climb rate with the old ivo so I can compare the two when the weather clears up and get back 2u.Cheers.Hows the the mud slinging goin over at APPA?
503 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Fred,the mud slinging continues,more than ever.SAD.Let us know how the new prop goes.Ive seen many bust there props ,might be worth keeping your ivo just in case?WA has its own ppc forum now which makes it easy to fly with others,the last fly in we had 17 aircraft (best so far) if your ever over this way let me know ,
fred cenko Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Hope the the moderator over there can pull his finger out and do something,cant see it really.On a better note sounds like PPC flying is really gaining momentum on the other side of the world there.Would love to come over.sounds like a terrific crowd.
Aerochute Kev Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 HI Fred, interested in the prop. trying to figure out how to send a PM so if you don't get one soon can you contact me at kwilliamson100@hotmail dot com (wrote it this way so it cant be used as a link for spam)
fred cenko Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Hi Kevin, sorry sold the prop yesterday on Ebay,chaps coming over to pick it up on Tuesday.If he is a no show,I will get back to you.Cheers mate.
Keenaviator Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I had an Ivo prop on a Quicksilver GT400. It was great, in fact it still is because a good mate has recently bought the GT (after if left me it went to Latrobe Valley for a couple of years, got a new 447, same prop, then sold to a bloke in Orange then sold onto another bloke back in Victoria, Leongatha and my mate bought it from his estate. It's now at Shady Creek, a place it knows very well since I used to visit very often for morning coffee :)).
fred cenko Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 They are a good durable prop,just got to put some thin supa glue around the edges of the steel tape to stop it from peeling,which is what the manufacturer at IVO recommended.Need a prop to get me up there quicker with heavier passengers which is why I upgraded to a Bolly 59 inch fixed pitch.
