Dolphus,

Now what would really be cool is if you were to animate the landing gear and doors with sketchy-physics.

The C-130J once had 8 blade contra-rotating propellers; are they no longer used?

thanks, Bob

bob-designer I found the following in.....
http://www.theaviationzone.com
Engines - The C-130J is equipped with four Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines each rated at 4,591 shaft horsepower (3,425 kW). The all-composite six-blade R391 propeller system was developed by Dowty Aerospace. The engines are equipped with full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) by Lucas Aerospace. An automatic thrust control system (ATCS) optimizes the balance of power on the engines allowing lower values of minimum control speeds and superior short-airfield performance.
