I flew the Ivo Magnum (high pitch version) for awhile on my -4 (ground
adjustable only) and tested it at near max pitch
(~100"). Takeoff & climb was OK even though static
& climb RPM was limited to only ~4000 rpm. Flight performance
will vary greatly based on the aircraft & power to weight ratio. The
-4 is an overpowered hot rod compared to factory planes. The same setup on
a Cessna 172 might be marginal at best. Over all, the Ivo was great below
150 mph. Above that it sucked. Pusher installations seem to have
better results with it (because it blows? : > ) sorry...

Folks,
I had a question concerning the electrically
adjustable Ivo, If I
forget to go to fine pitch when landing, what
kind of performance can
I expect if I need to do a go around? Just
being cautious and wanting
to know beforehand. Is there anyone
willing to own up to having done
it already? I'm going to be running
a 180 hp 13b in a Cozy MK IV.
