What props are available for the 582?

Hi Jay, I sent you a private message. If you have a gray head 582 now, the blue head 582 can use the same prop unless you change gearbox ratios from one to the other. Jim Chuk

I run a 3 blade IVO 70" in-flight adj on my kitfox IV with a 582 grayhead and a C 3:1 gear box. I have used this prop since 1995. The only issue I have is needing to replace the motor that adjust the pitch every now and then.

Will a 60/40 prop two blade wooden Culver that came off a Rotax 447 work with the 582 on the Model 4?

It will bolt on, but it's not near enough prop for an engine that is producing 1/3 more HP than it was meant to work with. The 582 would over rev, and an over reving two stroke engine will have very high EGT temps. The high EGT temps will melt the pistons. Short answer would have been no. Jim Chuk

What are most people using for a prop on their 582 with B box?

I'm very close to Leaf Aircraft, Lyons WI this week so thought I would pick up a prop for my project. Any suggestions for a model 3 with model 4 wings?

Warp Drive is probably the most popular. Very strong, economical and works very well.

Have you thought about swapping out for a C-Box that would enable more prop options and maybe a clutch ? I'm running 3:1 C with 72" GA Ivo medium and RK-400 clutch. My plane was being vibrated and shaken to pieces until I installed the clutch. Key bump start, low idle, fast warm up, glass smooth clutch engagement and painless shut-down.
