Default engines for B-17

Now I'll show you this only if you promise not to drool or lose any other bodily fluids over it.
Promise?
Perfect, ain't it?

It's a 13 1\2" custom from PK props. I used a 14x7" to break in. I allowed for the wider paddle so I dropped in diameter. Hind sight is always 20\20. I think I may go to a 15x7 or 6 because the YS 91 is as strong as most other 120s on the market. I think it will handle it nicely.
Of course, I won't be using them until I have confidence in the landing gear not collapsing. Until then, I will use the Windsor 14x7s.

Where are you at in construction?
With flying season here, I got trying to get everything into the air (and keeping them there).
I just have to finish the rudder, then sheet the second half of the fuselage, then I'll ALMOST be ready for glass.
