REFLECTOR: Constant Speed (hydraulic) props

[Andrew Judge]

I have a IO-360 C1C (no counter weighted crank) with a electric MT. Only thing so far has been the brush block burned out. Not a ding in 175 hours. Works great. I had a performance before. No dings there either. Some people have nagged about the MT elco on a 4 cylinder. No probs here.

Here is a picture from my GPS yesterday (tail wind). Not bad for a fixed gear.

If I had a 6 cyl Lycoming on my plane I would find a way to put an IVO on it.

I'll admit my numbers may be biased as I've had no experience with another prop.
