About 35 or so. The current hub is knurled to put a better bite on the blades and the bolt torque values were increased as well to 55 ft/lbs. There is a new, higher pitched version of the IVO magnum available now but I don't know anything about it. Hopefully they have increased the pitch at the root of the blades for high speed aircraft such as the Lancairs.
