Okay, the Ivoprop arrangement comes down to $2.500,- all inclusive.
Those are Dolares Americanos.
Any arguments why the PV50 would beat the Ivoprop………perhaps?
I´m looking for in flight adjustable……..because of the great variety of altitudes we fly (land & take off) in one single trip.

I managed to write them, but they don´t seem to be in the greatest of hurries to come back to me…….yet. Can you help out, perhaps?

American props will probably be considerably cheaper than European ones for you.
Done, I´m presently clearing some misunderstandings with Aerobravo about legal limits with regards to LSA etc……..hopefully this will yield something.
Will keep you posted.
Oh and bu the way: prize wise the "Gringo props" seem the ones to go for, fully agree with ya!
Can-Zac is quiet……………they haven´t emerged from periscope depth just yet.
I´ll keep trying to contact them.

Even though I was pleased with the Varia on the Zenair, when I built my SportCruiser I decided to go for this ground adjustable prop.
ON GROUND ADJUSTABLE PROPELLER ? TYPE KLASSIC 170 - WOODCOMP
It just seemed to me that the added weight and cost of a VP prop was not worth the difference in performance that they can make on an LSA.
Since we may take off at sea level and land at 4.000m in the morning and vice versa in the afternoon……….I´d like in flight adjustable.
Where you fly, I guess it´s not like that.
I guess it´s all about having the right tool for a specific job.

Hang gliding in Pichincha……….I haven´t had that pleasure just yet!
Deploying a Parachute at UIO will hopefully be in the past with the new airport in……..??????? Hopefully 2012???????
The longest runway in Latin America, I think--> still high up though!
I really appreciate your feedback everybody……….you all seem to know a lot more than I do, so please keep it coming!!!
