How do I turn on propeller engines in ksp

I just got the breaking ground expansion pack and I have been messing around with the rotor and turbo shaft engines but once I make a plane and I turn on the engine via the x button and turn up the throttle nothing happens. Can someone tell me how to fix this or is it a bug?

Moved to Breaking Ground support for better visibility.

The rotors and turboshaft engine are not tied to the main throttle by default.  I recommend using action groups to tie the Torque of the motor/turboshaft to the main throttle.

I also tie the blade deployment angle to an action group, so that I have control over blade angle during flight.  I normally tie the blade angle to the Translate Forward/Back controls, but use whatever is convenient for you.

Note that when you attach propeller blades, they are set to Not Deployed by default.  You will probably want to change them all to 'Deployed' in the SPH (Spaceplane Hangar), otherwise you will need to manually deploy them after launch.
