    Default what prop should I get

    I'm giving up on a IVO prop. Why? the motor is just junk. I've had it. Now what to get. Give me some good ideas. I know of the Eprop. that's pretty expensive. But will do it. How's that prop?

    How about a fixed prop that gives a good compromise for good speed and good take off? I have a 912uls 2008 engine I think 2.43 on the gear box.

    I'm running an NR two blade prop on my Kitfox 4 with 80 HP 912. I also bought a two blade NR for my Kitfox 4 unfinished project which has a 100 HP 912, Performance is much improved over the 3 blade IVO I started out with. I would do the same thing again if I needed another prop. JImChuk

    I also run a NR prop on a 80hp Rotax that has a big bore kit and 110hp now.
    It's a ground adjustable, SR 106 two blade. Spinner, prop, hub and backplate are about 10lbs. It's rated at 60-125hp

    I've been really happy with the performance. 16 deg works well for my application.

    This prop works well for the Rotax and other geared engines but is to light for traditional engines as the power pulses can lead to premature blade fatigue.
