I keep meaning to act what propeller works best on a 20ft wing gull 2000 with Rotax 503 "C"box with 3:1 gear ratio. Right now I have either an IVO ultralight 3 blade prop, 64" diameter, or a warpdrive, 3 blade 64" diameter but I can buy a different prop if that is better???


Also I would like to have some kind of hand held radio....not sure what kind to buy. Don't really want a bunch of bells and whistles just a plain handheld VHF com


and the same for a small GPS. I have an old hands but a held back packer GPS but probably need something geared more towards airplane but looking for a handheld type is such exist.


All this is because I have 3 plane and don't want to outfit all three!!! can only fly one at a time...




Also what about BRS chute. Would a soft pak one work? Looks narrower than a canister type but I don't know for sure.... just asking....Mark

I like the IVO electric cockpit adjustable on the 503.
Hand held radios should be cheep these days. Look in the publications.
Or a google search

There are lots of GPS also
I like my garmen pilot 3 but it's really old.
Happy Flying
