I am considering converting a guillows B-25 for r/c use. Any one ever done that before. Any help will be much appreciated.

As a follow up i was thinking of using glow power rather than electric and using a combination of balsa sheeting and covering to cover the model. I was hoping to use a couple of norvel engines to power this project too.

If I remeber right from the one I built, that plane really isn't all that big, 2 pee wee or tee dee .020's would be enough. The norvels might tear it apart.

Norvels would be too much. Try two 02s. Just sheet the thing. I want to do one of those, too. Have been flying a twin with two 01's, learned a lot from that.
You really need some sort of shutoff for both motors, otherwise one will always stop before the other, and you will spin down into the ground on every landing...
