PROTECTING YOUR ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT PROPELLER
Propeller protection for ultralights and ultralight aircraft.
IVOPROP: One of the most innovative propeller designs for
ultralight aircraft, weight shift trikes and powered parachutes.
The IVOPROP is available in several different models depending
on the horsepower of the engine. Here we will be talking about
the version that is used on ultralight aircraft.
If you are using a Rotax or HKS engine make sure you calculate
the Mass weight inertia of your prop - or call IVOPROP for their
recommendation on your particular aircraft and engine / gearbox
combination.
There are a couple of very critical points when using an
IVOPROP.
1. The prop is NOT recommended for direct drive engines.
2. In some pusher applications an extension hub will be required
for the prop to clear the trailing edge of the wing.
3. During installation the installer MUST follow the instructions on
how to install the prop! Especially the proper torque values and
the re-torquing of the prop after run in.
4. Do not use prop in 2-blade configuration without blade blocks
(missing pieces of pie, which fill out the big gaps between the
blades.)
5. The PROP MOVEMENT tape supplied with each propeller
must be installed as indicated on the installation instructions.
