Tracy tested my idea for prop cuffs on his new wood propellor
with good results. Faster top speed and better cooling.
If you have an IVO prop these cuffs will make it much better.
They also should strengthen the IVO blades slightly.

Is there a site or discussion thread somewhere that references how these were
made? I can't see a seam at all - is that prop sealed in there, or is that
black tape holding the cuff to the prop?

Thanks,
Chad

Knowing Tracy the black tape holds them on :) The aerodynamic and centrifugal
loads on those cuffs are minimal.
