Title: Mosquito has old style narrow prop blades (minor graphics)
Post by: Karnak on May 13, 2010, 02:30:07 AM

The Mosquito appears to have older style propellers found on Mk II, Mk IV and early Mk VIs like these:

Later, rocket capable Mk VIs seem to have paddle blades like so:

I know I am being nitpicky and it is just graphical, but I thought it couldn't hurt to mention it.

My documentation says that "some" series II VI's used paddle blades.  It doesn't say that they all had these.

Ideally, the paddle blade would afford a little better climb rate and speed. Not sure if the speed/climb charts in AH are modeled to reflect the "toothpick" props that we see right now; or if it is modeled after the paddles.

Ok, after many meetings and meetings to schedule meetings and committees and sub-committees, the prop will be changed to the paddle props.

And no, this won't affect the flight model as all changes to the flight model are already in place.  It's just graphical.   :noid
