I never hooked up a motor to it (mainly because the only motor I had at
the time was in use in another model), so I don't know for sure, but
IIRC it didn't involve much torque, once I tweaked the bushings to keep
the gears meshed without adding friction.

I used two of the big two-bladed propellers like those found in the 8824
Hovercraft (part #2952). They nest, so I ended up with a nice
four-bladed fan with all four blades in the same plane that moved a nice
amount of air.
