Default RE: Palmer 132" C-130 Build

I got out the plans to refresh my memory.

Palmer calls for

MVVS .94's
Tru turn spinner 2.25"
11x5 3 blade prop.

I'm using

RCV 90's
Tru turn spinner 2.25"
13" 4 blade props. Still in research and development.

With 11"props there is a ton of clearence to the fuselage. I think i got myself confused bewteen my custom 15" props to start experimenting with eventually to become 13". On the full size Herc the props are 13' hence the 1/12 scale of 13". In the pic of the plans he has 15" diameter prop arc's. With 15" prop arcs there is 2 7/8" clearence to the fuse and 1.75" between props.
