Rick Rick, both props work on both engines and were both used by both Army and Navy. The metal McCauley prop is more efficient and performs slightly better as well as being ground adjustable for pitch. I prefer the McCauley. Today, however, they steel McCauley has an Airworthiness Directive requiring a shop inspect and crack check it every 100 hours or 24 months (IIRC). That makes the wood Sensenich props more attractive as well as cheaper cost. MT has an approved Woods prop which is supposed to be good too. There is also a ground adjustable Hamilton Standard aluminum ground adjustable prop which works too. RadBaron and Trak-Tor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I ordered my ICM kits from Hannants. My LSP is having long delays getting their stock. Postage and insurance is needed if you want tracking. I bookmark the Future Releases web page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Found an ICM Stearman on eBay from Ukraine. $79.99 with free shipping. Only issue is while the title line reads “ ICM 32050 - 1/32 - Stearman PT-17/N2S-3 Kaydet, American Training” the body of the listing indicates it as an ICM I-153. I asked the seller for clarification. $79.99 price is a bit high, but assume seller is trying to sell for premium as a brand spanking new kit. I may spring for it though if seller confirms it is indeed the new Stearman. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254661039882 Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I pulled the trigger on one direct from Ukraine via eBay a couple of days ago. I have a tracking number. Now the waiting game. I bought my Roden kits Stearmans same way and they took about three weeks. Fingers crossed. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I will do the same. I bought my I-16 type 29 and other kits the same way. No issues so far. I do not buy from “The Russian Federation”. Others mileage will vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimRice Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Ukraposhta tracking shows mine is processing with three updates. No idea where it may be as it most recently said preparing for shipment. At least it shows something, unlike my last order from Ukraine which had one update only when ordered...and I received it. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
