> A
Velocity crashed and lost the whole family a while back using the IVO prop if I
correctly remember.
I think that was
the Velocity that was based in my hangar before I was
there.
The story I hear is
that this was a very early prop, the pilot felt vibration and landed.
He tightened the
prop on the ramp, arranged for parts to be shipped to his destination, omitted
much of the installation procedure (retorquing etc.) and took off again (with
his two daughters on board).
He lost the prop shortly afterwards, then did a forced landing
into a tree.
Not a happy story,
but probably not IVO's fault either.
