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

What about an Ivoprop (in-flight 2 blade prop) propeller for a Lancair 320?
Has one of you experience with such a prop?
Thanks in advance
