Country: | Agreed Les, that's why I initially went with the T6. The prop on that plane does not look adequate.

Country: | Here is some info on the Yale: http://www.warbirdalley.com/bt9.htm http://www.shanaberger.com/BT-14.htm
It was called the BT-9, BT-10 and BT-14 by the US. The British gave it the Yale designation.
