running spare parts for B-17g pnf

Hi! Sorry for late reply, I was off doing something else for a couple of months.

Actually, my plane has down thrust on all motors such that when it is stationary on it's gear, the thrust line is parallel with the pavement. Mine has the same down thrust and the same number of washers on all four engines.

I have not flown it as yet, I am buried in winter presently.

	Hi Guapoguy, Thanks for the prop part numbers. Is your plane 1600mm span model? My instruction manual is a 6-fold 6 x 4 inch piece of card, no p/n on the back page. Another question if you can answer please. There are two washers on each of the upper screws of the motor mount (between the motor and wood firewall) on the left hand motors (left wing) to give down thrust. On the right wing there are only one washer per upper screw giving lesser downthrust. Any idea why the difference between the two wings. If you have already flown yours with this setup, how does your B17 handle in the air? regards, Tone

	If you still have the manual, the PN are on the last page. The standard prop is F90215 and the reverse is F90215-1

	I tried through HobbyKing to add some running backup parts to my B17g pnf prior to shipping with no success. I wanted a full set of props. Can anyone, including the HK manager, supply me with the part number so that I can pass back to HK prior to shipping my plane within the next few days????? Thanks in advance. Toné Mak
