First, whose kit/plans are those?

Second, memory doesn't allow me to provide details but, do some research on the Lockheed P-38. It started with the props spinning the same direction. Then they reversed one. Then they reversed the direction of both. Which way they settled on I don't know (but you could probably figure it out from a picture. But I know running them opposite does improve things. And one combo is better than the other.

Also, I've been told that for electric you pick your prop first. Determine the speed range of the model to get max prop RPM. Then find a motor capable of spinning that prop at that RPM. And nothing says you can't use a prop for a nitro motor on an electric.
