We have the 45-105,  you got the numbers right , I just miss-spoke on another response was thinking 65-105.  Yes we also have the elect. & the constant speed module, will adjust that later.  I also changed the brush plate from horizontal to vertical much like the MT elect. design, mounting the prop & all brush plates & insulators with the 1/2" bolts directly to the redrive flange, saves 4.7#s off nose of aircraft. Changed the wire contact design also from the crush/wire-to-plate design (very strange) to elect. terms riveted to the plates with wires to insulated connectors. Much easier to deal with when assem. prop.       David.

David,
    Which blades does you "IVO" have (30" to 90" or 45" to 105" pitch range) ?............I
have electric inflight adjust "IVO" 3 blade, 74" (30" to 90" pitch)...........I have not tested
it yet but Jim Maher of this list has flown his "Dyke Delta" with a 3 blade "IVO" but I have
forgotten his diameter and which blades he has............Jump in here Jim and refresh us
on your "IVO" specifics (static rpm, MP, etc)............Jim has a 2.85 redrive..........

Enough to get the old heart a pumping - I still recall it like yesterday.
 
 Be careful on high speed taxi - always make certain you and aircraft are ready for flight - even unintended flight.  Some folks advocate NOT doing high speed taxi test due to increased risk during that phase.   I recall one accident - where individual had not removed control locks - because he was not going to fly, only do taxi test, well he  unintentionally lifted off - fortunately only damage to the airplane.  I know you won't do that, David, but just be prepared for flight in any case.
 
Good luck
 
Ed
