Would like to know if a 582 would be able to swing an in-flight adj prop (possibly IVO) and what the benefit would be.
The installation would be in a tractor configuration on Bushbaby size craft.

Thanks

It is quite a common installation within the Kitfox fraternity. The Ivo and a 582. Although a 912 would probably be better.

You don't match engine to prop, you do it the other way around, i.e. prop to engine. Select the engine i.e. 582, and then determine the size, pitch weight etc for the prop. Then you go to IVO and give them these specs and they give you the correct prop that the engine will easily swing. There is no reason why a 582 can't swing a correctly matched prop.

I have a Ivo 3 blade adjustable prop for you. New electric motor fitted. 68" dia. Gooi me a PM

Jaaaa, swaer.......

Some tests done here this week on an aerie with a 912S motor and VP 3-blade prop....with same RPM setting in cruise, they got an extra 15mph going from fine to course pitch....
