Hey Guys,
Just a few comments on how much "I" like 2 Blade , over 3 blade......( IVO Prop )
I ordered the "Blocks" from IVO ( they fill the space on the hub when you remove a blade )
They were "cheap"....
My cruise is quite a bit faster now... and I have a Navman Fuel flow .....I can see my Fuel flow has DROPPED...
Now I go FASTER , on less fuel
I used to be "pushing it" on a 100 mile leg..... Now , I have a good reserve ....( as long as I'm not in a bad Headwind )
The only place I see that has "lost" performance is Take-off Climb....and it's NOT that big of a loss....
The reason that I went with 3 blade in the first place , ....it's said that 3 blade is Smoother....
I DON'T notice a differance ..... at all !
Just thought I'd pass this along...
Gotta Fly...
