      The recommended props are two 11x7s, not counter but you could most certainly make it a CR setup.

          Could someone please recommend suitable size three blade props for this plane.

            JamesTaylor96 - The rule of thumb is take the recommended 2 blade size and cut an inch off for each added blade. So if 11x7 2-blade is recommended then a 10x7 3 blade or 9x7 4 blade will work as well.

            10x7 would be perfect here

                      Motions site is clear that retracts are not included.

                          It's true. When they went out of stock, the retracts were included. Back in stock, the retracts are add ons. However, if I recall correctly, the "retract included" ARF was a hundred dollars more.
                          Regardless, I bought mine pretty soon after they came back in stock and got the retracts as soon as they came back in stock. I hope to start the build soon.

                            So from anybody who has built one of these, could you comment on the nacelle installation? Mine are REALLY tight. I mean, so tight if I could get them into place they wouldn't need glue! I realize what sandpaper is for, but holy cow are these a tight fit. I would love to hear from anyone who has already dealt with this.

                              I got another one for you. The setup for the nose gear non retractable version is clear, but I am using the retracts. The manual is not terribly clear. Do I need to install the nose gear low on the mounting box? The manual seems to show it screwed to the top of the box, but I'm thinking that may make the gear leg too short resulting in a "nose low" stance on the ground.

                                  I ordered the recommended motors but they seem to be a little light on power. Was wondering what everyone else were using. I have two eflite powwr 46 motors I can use.

                                    I can't speak to the question asked because I have not yet flown my Baron, but I don't like to pay premium prices for brand names. I went with 2 G32 motors and compatible speed controls for a total of 123 dollars.

                                    I'm pretty sure if you use the eflite 46's you'll be golden.

                                      Mine were incredibly tight as well. I used a bunch of my wife's emery boards stacked up to be just the right width to fit into the nacelle mounting grooves. As I sanded, I used different combinations of thicknesses until I got them to fit. Also, I needed to add material to the "outriggers" and then used a contour gauge to mark exactly where I needed to sand back down so that the outriggers came into contact with the leading edge of the wing halves. It was a lot of work, but they appear to be solidly mounted now. I used the thin CA to glue into place. Worked great!

                                        I used two BadAss 2826-1030 motors with 10x7, three-blade propellers. I haven't flown it yet, but according to e-Calc, it looks like a good setup. I'm using two, 3,000mAh, 4s Admiral batteries that I got from Motion RC. Using two 85A Mantis ESCs. I mounted the ESCs in the nacelles and ran the wires into the fuselage. If you're going to lengthen the battery wires (as I did) you'll need to hang some extra capacitors right at the ESC. I used the ones from Castle Creations and also mounted them in the nacelles.
