Hey Guys,
I am just starting my TF B-25 build. I have been reading "some" of the pages but there is so much that it will take me some time.
Quick question: on the nacelles - I epoxied the plastic pins into it at 19mm but when I try and bolt the nacelle to the wing section I have a gap on one side of the nacelle between the wood and the wing.
Is this normal for setting up the thrust angle of the motors or is something wrong here? I "assumed" that the curvature of the nacelle should align with the wing so the wood on both sides of the nacelle should touch the wing.
I can put in a picture if that helps.
Thanks!!!
Keith

Good luck with your build. Mine was a good flying airplane with a couple of OS FS70s.

Hay Morpower,
I like your handle...cool...I seem to never have enough power unless I am ripping the wings off in a vertical climb. Then...and only then...will I have enough power. Now I've done my best to over power all my ugly sticks....60 size with a DLE 20...she had a really nice climb. But my AMR Stick twin 50 I am building...with twin, twin cylinder 40 cc gas engines just might do the trick.
I checked with the web site you gave us, but no cigar on the Top Flight B-25 plastics. If you have a Hanger 9 B-25...they do carry all of them.
So guys...I need a set of plastic for my T.F. B-25. Some one out there in hobby land must have a spare set to sell me. I'll toss in my right arm and first born son....this is getting serious now.
I managed to find new set of B-25 cowls in Florida...nice guy, and for only $10.00 for both...I wanted to kiss the man... : ) That was a steal and they were brand new. I advertised on R/C Universe in the Twin for sale section....and also on R/C groups.
Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui

Dear Chris923,
I'll take one nose interior kit, cockpit Windscreen and Nose windscreen and chin set.
How do I pay you for this...?
I sent you a PM on this with my phone number.
Do you have any guns or gun pods?
I can send you a personal check, Postal Money Order, or Bank Draft.

It was out for about 7 years, I guess, it just ran it's course. It wasn't as "main stream" as a Corsair or a P -51. I just sold a "almost complete" kit on RCU for 400.00. It's possible they my revisit the B-25 with improvements in the future. I hope so anyway.

Gentleman..........
I have read many pages on the B25
I have come to the point of mounting the Canopy.
I remember seeing that someone made a nice framework for the canopy. This made it easy for access.
It was made of I believe balsa and the canopy attached to it. It was held down by magnets.
Does anyone recall seeing this
Thanks
Hoss

Thanks Bill
I am making mine electric. I need access to the inside if the canopy for the batteries.
I do remember seeing a canopy setup that was all built up w/ pilots that just fit into the canopy cavity.
It was held in by a threaded rod. I will keep searching....
Thanks again Bill

Hi Guys
I am still searching for a set of canopies for my T.F. B-25. I obtained a war wary B-25, but has no canopies or interior. It was rode hard and put away wet and I am cleaning it all up, to include maybe a new covering. I need canopies to make her complete...Tower is out of all parts for the B-25. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys
Here is an picture update on my rebuild..I think its turned out pretty good considering there is a lot of firsts for me.First time ive used fibre glass for covering which was deluxe materials products[there cloth and water base resin].First time ive sprayed painted with a gun and a first time painting with latex paint.I also re powered it with 2 os95fsv engines which im converting to spark ign..I also had to replace the retracts so i use another set of Eflite 120 size with the Robart oleos.
It been a fun rebuild with new skills gained..
I also have to give a big thanks to just plane sweet for going to the effort of making me a new nose glass [not fitted yet] it really turned out great..
cheers shayne
