A museum replica helped shape the simulator’s Model Z

Microsoft says its team studied and scanned the Model Z replica at Seattle’s Museum of Flight. This identifies a development reference for the Carenado recreation.

The announced Z uses a fixed-pitch propeller

The release describes the Z with a Wasp Junior radial and a fixed-pitch two-blade propeller. The larger engine used in later historical record attempts is a different configuration.
