mike g. posted:Hi Dustin, great project! But let me ask you this, with such a great build your tying this into are you going to put in turning propellers? Such as small motors?
Mike,
I thought about it, but decided not to mess with it. Having to plan for fitting/mounting motors in the nacelles, and getting them to look/operate correctly, didn't seem like a lot of fun to me... and didn't go with my "make it up as you go" approach for this one. I do actually have a couple such motors and propellers already - but my plan for those is to see if I can make a propeller powered train car at some point in the future.
If someone was interested in doing such a thing, though, it seems as though the B-25 nacelles would be conducive to it. They are hollow inside, mount to a hollow wing, and have separately applied cowlings/props:
