    Default IVOProp, 912ULS, Prop Extension and, Spinner

    I am looking to buy an IVOProp for a 912-ULS motor. I think what I need is a medium 70" however, I have the tall grove gear so could use 72". Would that be advantageous? Also, how long of an extension would I need for this setup? I think a 2" but am not sure. As well, are there any recommendations for the spinner?

    I haven't called IVO yet to get his input because I wanted to get some input from TeamKitfox first.
    Thanks,
    Fred

    Page 49 of Kitfox Aircraft’s parts catalog.
    2” extension for Rotax engine with smooth cowl.
    $335.00


    I’ve never owned a medium Ivo Fred so check with Ivo on recommended length for the 100 hp Rotax.
    I’m flying behind a 72” Ivo ground adjustable lite right now.

    The IVO medium has a backer plate that attaches to the prop flange on the engine, also the plastic and aluminum plates that provide electricity to the prop motor. Those pieces will put the prop blades at least an inch or more ahead of where say warp drive blades would be. Something to consider at least. If my memory is correct, the backer plate is 3/4" thick, and the thin plates are each 1/4". I do have a never used 70" three blade IVO medium for sale, but it's a left hand, so oposite of what you need on the 912. JImChuk

    PS I should have read the original post better to start with, you didn't say you were getting an electric inflight adjustable. The ground adjustable prop still uses the backer plate on the prop flange, but doesn't use the two 1/4" rings or plastic insulater plates between them.

    The 70" 3 blade medium IVO is the right prop for the 912 ULS.

    I used one for a good 400+ hours.

    I added the IFA to it and the Murle Williams through the gearbox, brushes and electrical contacts. A very decent setup.

    What model kitfox is this for?

    It is a KF5. I'll check with Murle.

    What spinner is that in your pics? I'd like to get something like that. Who was your vendor for that?
    Thanks.

    It is a UHS fiberglass spinner and back plate.

    I sent you a private message.

    If you haven’t found what you’re looking for I have a IVO 70” ground adjustable with spacer and aluminum spinner I’d sell. I’m unsure of what it’s worth.

    Carlos,

    I put a 75" Airmaster on last year. The IVO had 300 hours on it.
