Status: offline 		I was wondering reading these posts.
It seems to me as if the recommended .36 glow engines would be marginal at very best on power.
I don't think you should put a .36 engine on an 8 lb plane so why would you put two on a 16 lb plane.
Does any one have an opinion?
I have a H9 b-25 ordered and am trying to figure out the power situation.
It just seems to me the recommended power is very low.

Status: offline 		I haven't orderd one yet, but am getting ready to. I'm trying to figure out which one to get. It's intersting that someone wrote that the video is the same for the Hanger 9 and TF. Is it the same plane?

Status: offline 		Guys: Hobbico (Top Flite) and Horizon (Hangar 9) are both in Champaign, Illinois, and both regularly do test flying and filming at the same r/c field.

Regarding twin .36s: it may sound like insufficient power, but it's not. First, these .36s are pretty powerful little engines. I understand they're about as strong as a regular .40 or .45. Second, this is the magic of twins. From a design concept standpoint, when you go from a single-engine aircraft to a twin, you're doubling the power but only increasing the wetted area by 50% or so. The result is that the twin can be more efficient than the single.

Thanks for the info. Your plane looks good. I was looking for something a little bigger. I may wait on that one from KMP, if you think it is fairly easy build with electrics, otherwise I will do the Hanger 9 = I wish the had one in silver though. What does your B25 weigh, and what motors are you running - just curious about your watts/per pound?


My FSK weighs 45oz with 2 x 3s 2100's using park 450's for motors on MAS 9x7x3 props. The total watt output is 225-240 depending on battery voltage

No....any multi cyl motor for glow will not put out as much horsepower as the same size single. As an example.....the saito 90TS is their twin in this size and it puts out 1.2HP while the saito .91 single puts out 1.6HP
This B-25 will easily be flown by saito 72's, but .82 would be better. Figure the horspower for the radials being in between the .72 and .82 so roughly 1.35 HP per motor. Lot of money to spend on motors for this plane though at 699 each.

Status: offline 		While waiting for my B-25 to arrive i have been assembling the power package. I have 2 Extreme flight torque revolution 4014-T570
motors coming from Atlanta hobby, and just picked up 2 Castle 80 amp esc's in rc groups classified. These motors are set up for 5 cell operation and appear to be an excellent match for the B-25. I'll be using either my T/P 5000 Extremes of the flightpower 3700 5s packs. I hope there will be retracts available some time this year but that could be a stretch since they have to be designed for the plane on a custom basis. Looks like October for first deliveries if all goes well. Who else has made the plunge on a first twin warbird not to mention electric?.... Doug

Status: offline 		Hey Future B-25 Pilots.
Judging by the Instruction manual on Horizon Hobby, The decal stickers are already stuck on the ARF. I would prefer to add my own Nose Art Vargas girl to the bomber.

Any good idea about how to cleanly remove Hangar9's nose art detail so I can add my own and rename her as well?

There are some great Vargas inspired girl art work from the company website for the recent PC and Xbox360 game Battlestations Midway btw.

Thanks,
-Min

I strip my H9 P-51s down to the wood and recovered them myself. Check out my avatar to see what I did with my first H9 P-51 Mustang. I too would like any suggestions on this matter. I sure do like the looks of the H9 Hellcat, but I want to remove that number 13 and put something else in its place. Other than getting a heat gun and carefully work on the item in question (i.e. number or noseart, etc.), and then carefully peel it back, I personally do not know of any other option.
