Hi bigE,
I see, your build 101'' B-25. Maybe you wrote it some time ago, because I read, some row about the engine, but my english is not very good, so what engines you want to use for your Mitchell?
One question for all. Does anybody know about some good plan for the B-26?
Thank you.
Im considering using the OS GT33, just worried it might be too much. But I like the idea of swinging a bigger prop and cruising at lower RPM's.
Ed,

one thing I remember now that they told me when I talked to the guys at Ziroli was ground clearance. Make sure you have enough ground clearance with that bigger engine/prob combo. 3 blade might help.

David-
I was thinking a 16-10 three blade but looking at the plans, an 18" 3-blade would easily clear the fuse and be about 2.5" off the ground.
