Those were the days when "Men were men".......and regularly broken ....man that was fun....Mike your cart would have been to grand .... bicycle wheels ....way to expensive...or difficult to purloin.....thanks for the memories

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.

I don't think the C-130 ever had contra rotating props

Cormaster as to the specs of the cannon ....highly classified especially to TANK BUILDERS ??????

More progress ...

I think your castle looks great, but I understand what you are saying about the 80% in the bin, believe me i bin closer to 90& but the fun is in the one or two which are just good enough to escape the dreaded bin. Remember always if you get it perfect. you're done nothing left to strive for, so enjoy the journey and good luck......ps keep on posting the "almost" winner
