Mike,
From a safety point of view the Ivo would be perfectly acceptable for your
plane.  There are a lot of them flying and I have not heard of a single
incident of the prop failing unless someone stuck it in the ground or let
something go thru it. Even in that instance, it will sustain less damage
than some props.
But I wouldn't recommend the prop for your plane.  The design of the prop
close to the hub is flat to the direction of flight and produces a lot of
drag.  This becomes a speed limit of about 185 mph. Your plane will be
capable of much more than that.  This limit doesn't come into play with a
pusher plane because the fuselage blocks this area anyway and the prop works
much better in that application.

FWIW,
I have a friend with an IVO Prop on his Lancair at my field.
It has not flown yet but from what i have seen I would stay away from that
propeller. They are relatively inexpensive and it shows. You get what you
pay for and that is definetely true in this case. I have never seen a flying
lancair with one of those propellers. Go with what other guys are usign and
have had success with. You are wise to ask.

You do not want to land one of these airplanes off field.
The 2 items I would not scrimp on is engine or propeller...
Your hands will be full enough enough without major potential life changing
complications from one of those items.
If you know what I mean.....
