    Looks like a DUC Windspoon prop to me.

    Thanks for all.
    Yes good answer it's a DUC propeller model FC Windspoon expensive but good

    I made the dynamic balancing today, added 0,35 weight and it removed completely the vibrations really impressive !

    It's the cabane gear from HighWing LLC and Nanco tires in 21" like the other guy i forgot the nickname with the blue and black kitfox who made the retrofit before me.

    I switch to this one from an Arplast propeller the previous owner installed. I don't know if it was because it was very old but when i test full power on ground with the DUC I fill much more traction of the propeller.
    It's very quiet. For the consumption i can't compare as i didn't fly a lot with the old one. In France some say it's good propeller others say it's only marketing...so

    Hi!

    I know this is an old thead but I am interested in knowing how your airplane performs with the DUC propeller. I am currently in the process of giving a Kitfox 2 its second life.

    What engine/gearbox are you using?
    How many degres pitch on the propeller do you run?

    Also it would be interesting to know how you like the landing gear.

    Thanx!

    By the way your Kitfox looks really nice!
