I had this prop on an VW 2100 and and the bigger version on the Sub 81. The small prop hit a wall at 140 mph. The Sub did not have enough HP to spine the big 1. The RV guys tried the large one and a couple of them lost blades and crashed. The folks at Ivo were VERY nice about taking the small one back. I did not buy the big one direct from them. I know if you tell them it is going on a KR with a VW they will not sell it to you.

That way it can be adjusted, it's a good point. I've seen this one as a thought but heard a few bad things about it, but the bad things were based on years ago issues, would a company still sell something if they hadn't worked out those issues (maybe I'm naive)? http://www.ivoprop.com/inflightmediummodel.htm Though not your standard type adjustable prop but lighter maybe? Anyways good point and another item to think about when going turbo.
