    On that size, weight and speed of and airplane I think that the
benefits of a controllable prop would be nil and not worth the
trouble.
   I run a 70 inch 5 blade Warp drive on my coot at a gross weight of
3200 lbs and I think you could dam near climb strait up and cruise at
125 mph on that little plane with that prop.

PS personally I would not taxi down the taxi way with an Ivo. >
