And what reports have people heard about the IVOPROP propellers? Are there other/better options for adjustable propellers?

If you are interested in this I will go in to greater detail on how I did it.

I am not even a student pilot yet (hope to start next year) but I tried flying (landing) the KR in Microsoft flight simulator a while back and crashed.. tried again and crashed again. Went back to landing 172s many times without any suprises. Then practiced on a Tiger moth and a some other tail dragger I can't remember the name now (not had my coffee yet :)) and now I can land the KR with not trouble. Not perfect yet but getting there. Moral of the story.... just needs a little practice and getting used to. (In case someone missed that.... all of my flying is in a simulator :)) Cheers!
