Gentlemen,
Ivoprop makes props for up to 700HP applications. The prop I was referring
to in my inquiry is the Ivoprop Magnum medium series. They have an in flight
adjustable for $1750 thats being recommended by the folks at Lookwood
Aviation for the Europa. The person I talked to said he thought they sold
one to someone building one, anyone out there that can confirm that or has
thought of using one?
Thanks,
Jeff
