I searched most the problems seemed related upto 97. After that, seemed no terrifying stories. Any one can share their experience (with hours of flight, engine type and specs of IVO propeller).

I am looking for a high static thrust and relatively high cruise speed combination choice of propeller, seemed to me the only way to go is pitch adjustable and cost wise IVO certainly came first. I am not using Lycoming. maybe an auto conversion. I am thinking 200HP about engine, 84' adjustable prop. static thrust 1300-1500 lb, cruise speed 220-250 mph, seemed to me the only IVO 84' is not in flight adjustable, then I have to go 76' but static thrust will be much less, maybe go for 6 blades but I didn't see any static thrust formula for 6 blades
