  • Do you know IVO?

    I've known for many years about Ivo wanting freedom so bad he built a small plane from basically scrap & flew from CZ land over the iron Curtain to freedom then came to the U.S. & started a very successful propeller company & here's an update. I've owned his props & a CGS Hawk shown in his video. CGS stands for Chucks Glider Supply & came from Ohio every good weekend to fly & sell glider supplies at Warren Dunes State Park on Lake Michigan west of me. Chucks the one that invented the reduction drive so people & companies could run longer slower props on their high revving hang glider engines & ask that everyone that used his design just give him $5, no one did. It was like the Wright Bros all over again. A friend help the non powered flight record for a long time, over 8 hours in the air with no engine. Just thought you guys might want to meet Ivo who loves inventing, freedom, guns, & flight. After all he is a CZ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilPGLj87ybo

    Yeah, he has a place about 15 miles from my Nevada property. It is at a place called Lucin. He flies into Ogden and visits his girlfriend and gets groceries with his 172 all the time. I generally just say hi and leave him be. Tim
