Many SeaReys and other Rotax-powered airplanes have propellers made by Ivo Zdarsky, an extreme dasher who made a big splash in the news by flying over the Iron Curtain at night in a homebuilt airplane. Here's a March 28, 2012, New York Times story about him: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/garden/in-a-remote-part-of-utah-life-alone-in-a-hangar.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all">http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/garden/in-a-remote-part-of<br>-utah-life-alone-in-a-hangar.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all</a>

I had the pleasure of meeting Ivo a couple of times in the 2002 to 2006 time frame at his shop which is a short drive from KLGB. That shop, even today, makes PA's old Clifton Street look like a palace.<br /><br />One time, Ivo spent nearly an hour demonstrating and extolling the virtues of his electronic 'constant speed propeller' gizmo. I should have shelled out the $200 it cost, but didn't. On another visit, we had to walk around a contraption consisting of a lawn chair supported by a frame which also supported eight weed wacker engines in a star configuration, each weedwacker driving one of his propellers spinning in a plane parallel to the ground. I did not personally see this contraption in flight, but his assistants all swore he had flown it.<br /><br />Had not seen him around for awhile. Now I know why.

Tom, you can see the latest incarnation of that flying lawn chair flying in the video (above).
