Hi Michel,

The Ivoprop is NOT an aircraft suitable propeller.  There were numerous 
in-flight failures and I believe that the company stopped marketing to 
flyers.  Basically, the blade root is clamped into the hub, and either 
the clamp slips or the root shatters.

It has an interesting history - if I remember, this was the guy who 
built an ultralight to escape the Eastern Block during the cold war.  
But don't trust my memory on such things.

Best regards,

Bill Reister
