REFLECTOR: Prop dia

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

For me, needed a way to use the 340 HP and huge amount of torque from my V-6. 
IVO was the only company that actually asked me a lot of questions, ran the numbers & suggested the biggest prop I could make fit. 


MT just quoted me a huge price... didn't trust their approach.

If you do have ground contact, the blades are easily repairable or you 
can cut a little off the ends.  My 220 HP Franklin uses a 68" IVO prop.  
76" seems like a lot.  What is the objective?
