I think there is a very legitimate beef about the prop situation. My personal belief - not based on any actual knowledge - is that someone got P.O.'d at Dave Zeigler. This would fall in the same category as not allowing o-rings for several years. I don't see any real difference in modifying the hell out of a stock factory assembled Ikara as opposed to assembling your own from Ikara parts. But we're not supposed to talk about stuff like that here.

  Wombat asked, "As a question, I wonder if the Ikara blades could be used
  with that same
  setup legally?"

  Neil, the rules clearly state, "The propeller must be a single two-bladed
>commercially made< plastic propeller with a maximum diameter of 4.5 cm."

  As they used to tell us in the Army, "Don't fight the problem." Your
  adjustable pitch setup would not be legal.
