IVO Prop inflight adjustable brushes

[P Morel]

I seem to be going through brushes on my IVO prop @ about the rate of one set every 100 hours. That may or may not seem to be wearing out very fast for I have nothing to compare it to. Does anyone have a source other than IVO to purchase these from? Also, does anyone have the exact size of these brushes so I can research them in case I'm unable to locate a source from Kitfoxers.

that's interesting, I've got about 1200hrs on the set that I'm using.

Hi , I have the medium Ivo inflight, I have around 50 hrs on the first set of brushes and they have about 1/3 worn off.

I did put on the Murle Williams adapter mod that puts the brushes behind the gearbox. The surface the brushes run on is maybe 2" diameter versus the IVO plates of approx 5" , I think this helps with the wear. IVO does say that the first set of brushes usually wears faster , and not to clean the contact surfaces.

As far as size and outsources, I don't have the measurements and don't know of any sources, but I think they are a common brush and nothing special by just looking at them.
