Way Too Many Props GB April 18, 2011 - Extended to July 28, 2012

After interest was stated in the aircraft forum, I'm starting the official thread here. It will be my first GB has host, so bear with me, if I missed something. Start date will be April 18 (Doolittle Raid; also clears up some other GBs) to run for a year, since some of these multi engine birds can take a while.
Rules:
- Any scale, any era, any type (fighter, bomber, transport, etc.)
- Out of box or as much AM sets that will fit into the aircraft
- One engine turning one prop and has to be at least two (Wright Flyer will not work, since only one engine turned both props; Tu-95 will work cause there are four engines, each turning two props a piece)
- Must be mainly powered by props but must have multiple props, so late models of the B-36 (six turning, four burning) is allowed; but one jet and one prop is not
- Turbo props, like the C-130, are allowed
- No jets, like the B-52
- Propliners definitely included
- Builds less than 50% are allowed
- Crossovers welcome
- Post Pics of progress is a must
- Conversions allowed if documented example exists, but must still fit the rules. I.E. XB-38
- No what ifs
