Toreo,

thank you for the video. Congratulations! Your B-25 looks nice and I hope you enjoy many successful flights. Be careful you don't crash into the boy on the runway!!!

Does your B-25 have a Gyro in it?

Chris

No! I did many times tested my twintrainer with gyro on rudder, and had only positive opinion about gyro in case of single engine out.
But i newer used any gyro in new model. On next flight session i will use gyro on rudder and ail.
IMHO, right preset of rudders is help no less than gyro, in case of single out. Left rudder set 2-3 degree to left, right rudder 2-3 degree to right.

Toreo,

What engines are you using? Look a bit like Enyas?? Curious since it coped on one so well. Thanks for the video.

Tim,

You'll have to wait a bit longer for the "finished" shots - I build ARF's a bit quicker than the Chinese built the Great Wall....

Wow - that's VERY impressive for one FL70 on a 3-blade prop! Good flying too

Thanks for the info' - the FL's look like a good value powerplant for this plane.

This is how it flys but toreo seems to have flown it in much relaxed manner!!!!! Amazing and good contlol. This is the loveliest plane I own, and those videos prove it is the best every time. I cannot wait to get up to date with my video downloading skills and it seems that the resolution is too high and make extra large documents. I will get help and post another video to add to this list.

toreo,

While I've got the 'ol camera in the workshop, I'll add a few others - the gimbal was just detailed a bit and repainted, bomb bay is sealed awaiting final paint, bomb door inners ready to be attached, plus a few of the aluminium tape added here and there. The hatch in the bomb bay floor (roof?!) is the gyro mount - it's stuck to the other side. Note no Nelson hinges as there's some problem with supply, so used up a few large Dubro pinned hinges.

Next step will be to add panel lines and steel-wool the lot, then prep and airbrush all the aluminium and assorted exhaust stains, panels etc. Once done, will weather and seal. ('Scuse me borrowing some of your techniques fytrjok!) Oh, and the missing outer fuel caps!.....

Oh, thanks to one of our other contributors for the rear cockpit and turret images - sorry I don't have your name in front of me.

Where did you find the pictures of the interior of the cabin behind the cockpit and upper turrent? I would like to do something similar to my Mitchell

Lyle who posted elsewhere in this thread (I think) did them - his email is lylevasser@yahoo.com

Ask him how his pilots are coming along too - he's an amazing sculptor.

interesting interior a pic! i put all that in there and your idea is really nice. with the glass on you cant tell anyway. school is done may 30. I just recieved my rivet tape to finish but im gonna fly her first! My wife has to go out and help me lift the plane after the outer panels are on. I fly alone and there is no way I can handle this on my own. shes never seen me fly anything except helis. i can get the fuse and center section out of the van and add the wings. But flipping it over requires two people. ill fill the air tanks hook up all the lipos and secure everything when the plane is upside down. All I need to do is get it turned over and fly.
