You should get someone to make molds of that and we could get a composit plane when you're done...[8D]
Nice work!
keep it up.[;)]





Rebel Flyer -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/23/2008 9:31:59 PM)

When do you have the time to build? You must be unemployed.




lrb75 -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/23/2008 11:08:11 PM)

What engines are you planing on using? I have a pair of G38s that are going in mine hopefully this spring.




jmohn -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/23/2008 11:19:59 PM)

Is that a boat or a plane [:)] Wow ! That's a nice project. Good job!




zach78910 -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/24/2008 3:39:36 AM)

it is 106 inch wing span. i am new at building. i am medically retired from the us marine corps after the war in Iraq so i have alot of time to build. i was thinking about using g38 for power but i am undesided. dose any one have any in put? please feel free to give advice on the build if you see anything i should change.




samparfitt -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/24/2008 3:52:50 AM)

G-38's should be a good match.
I've got two of them in my present build of a Yellow P-38 that's a 101" WS.
They're simple and reliable and cheap.
Chief sells them for $290.




Rebel Flyer -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/24/2008 5:01:23 AM)

Zach,

Go with the 38s!!!! Get a couple of (small) 4 blade props with it. You will like how it fits in the cowl. Rear exhaust is fantastic. Come by my garage and pick one up for test fitting. It's layin on the work bench.

samparfitt -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/25/2008 1:13:35 PM)

Here's the thread that I started last summer on the Yellow P-38 but I had to stop in the Fall due to other non-airplane projects.
I hope to get started again after I finish up my Yellow AT-6 build.
Zinger sells 4-blade props.

Compiments on an AWESOME thread! Good work, we love seeing this.

Someone asked about a smaller version, I believe Wing Manufacturing has one.

Best wishes,
Dave Olson




darren763 -> RE: jerry bates B-26 martin marauder (1/29/2008 11:15:51 PM)

Wing Mfg is an A-26, A Douglas airplane. The B-26 Marauder is made by Martin.

Thanks though,

Darren
