I've had a chance to speak briefly with the owner of the
IVOPROP-equipped Europa. Although it's working reasonably well now,
he says he would not choose that prop again.
It suffered severe vibration when first installed, so bad that it
sometimes affected the governor and caused it to run to full coarse.
Took a long time and a lot of work to get it more satisfactory. He's
still not convinced that it's giving the best cruise performance as
he can't get more than 120kt in level flight.
regards
Rowland
