Microlighters

Thanks Jv

She is really a beaut even though i say so myself.

And what do you know.
Alex did the inspection and there are some things that need to be sorted but she got the green light to put in the Paperwork and get the ATF the ten hour proving flight !
One of the problems is that the Ivo Prop has a horrible vibration so it looks like that is a No No She is fine at Low RPM (like i tested her at home) but as soon as she starts to build up it has a horrible pulse that just gets worse as the revs increase


SHE LIVES

Gav throw that Ivo in to the fire and get a P prop!

Looking good mate, see u on the 4th at tedders

Now you talking. Really not feeling good about the Ivo at the moment. Will see if i can get my Hands on a Prop just till her 10 hours are up and by then i should have got my hands on one somewhere. (HINT HINT)

Hi TC

Oh trust me she basically is. Lots of sweat tears and now i hear my Kid was zapped by a violin spider while playing at the Airfield. Mommy really loves the Airfield trips now

I may be able to help you.... depending on length and pitch but I THINK I have the right one for you...

Thanks Duckie

But all the props need to be 62" not bigger as then it will clip the wing keel. But thanks for the try.

Now that is Definately something i am looking forward to.

Who has got the Design for the Patch - I know somebody that can make them for us.

Hey Gav, is one of the shafts in the blades not buggered ? Oom Piet should be able to balance that prop for you if that is the issue. Spaghetti prop or not, there are lots of them flying, safely. You can also contact Ivo for help via email.
Balancing usually by applying clear 2K. Vra Oom Piet, hy weet hoe.
Looking GOOD, Mike Wizowski......
