Corsair Jock Saito seems a bit tight for this aircraft, strongly recomend 1.20 you wont regret it..
Specially if you want to go scale with a 3 blade prop..
I've been doing some research and agree: best 3 blade prop I could use with the 1.00 is probably a Master Airscrew 14 x 7 OR 14 x 9: both would be a little small for this size of Hellcat. The 1.20, or better yet the 1.50 would be able to swing the Master Airscrew 3 blade 16" props (x 8 OR x 10).
So, what about the canopy and wing dihedral: is it just my imagination (un-scale looks) or is everybody just ignoring it? I would really like to make mine look a little more scale looking, and plan to re-finish it.
Well I guess you could swing that 14 X 7 with Saito 1.00 but as you know when you go up to a 1.20 is a different ball game..
You are right with MA you only get from 14 X 9 ( 3 Blade) up to 16 X 8 wich is to big even for the 1.50
I just received a set of 15 X 8 3 Blade and will try this comming weekend.. looks pretty good ....hope it flys the same way...
