Okay,

so I just went to the Hobby Lobby site and ordered two Graupner 12 x 8 3-blade props. Then I saw they also had 12-1/2 x 7 3-blade props so I ordered two of those as well. I'll give those a try when I get them next week. Then, I'll have a pretty good idea of exactly what 3-blade propellers to recommend so those of you who want to run 3-blade props (and who read this thread!) will know what works best.

Here's a few more pointers for when you get your B-25...

-- For transport, whenever carrying your B-25 (in and out of your house and to and from your car, etc.), I HIGHLY RECOMMEND removing both the nose-gunner canopy and the tail guns. Otherwise, the guns are very precarious and are likely to get caught in your shirt or on your arm and get broken off.

--Another means of saving damage to the obtrusive guns; when the model is sitting on the ground at your flying site, place some sort of barrier in front of the nose and behind the tail of your model. Again, those machine guns stick out and people are likely to swipe them with their legs when walking past. Like I put my starter and battery in front of the model and my foam stand behind it. You could use your field box, fuel, or a couple of those small, orange cones for kids sporting games--whatever. Just put something in front of and behind the model when it is on the ground so the guns don't get busted off.
