Jeff,
    What sort of problems did you have with the Warp Drive?  Were they
problems people contemplating Ivos need fear as well?  Tom Mayer

One of the blades cracked near the root.  We sent it back to warp and they
"patched" it and sent it back.  We weren't satisfied so we opened it up
ourselves and found a gross manufacturing defect...warped fibers (hence the
name?)  We complained and they sent us another blade.  All the blades are
showing signs of distress (bubbling paint, delam) and we aren't doing
anything that horrible to them.  I would never fly a warp or Ivo on my
airplane from what I've seen.
