Six Blade IVO prop
Simple to adjust
There is a single bolt sticking out of the crushplate on the prop. This bolt is fastened by a single nut and there is a hole though the bolt. Stick a screw driver through the hole in the bolt, lossen the nut, rotate the bolt using the screw driver. All six blades will adjust at the same time. See the pic.
I would suggest you try to borrow a angle finder as shown in the pic below to measure the degrees pitch the prop is at, then adjust it to the pitch you need. I would suggest small steps, .5 to 1 deg max a a time.

I had a 6-blade prop that comprised of 2 seperate 3-blade props. These had shim plates that you hade to add or remove to adjust the pitch.
