RE: B25 Mitchell thoughts
I think the bad wings were in one of the original shipments and those are gone now. The hardware, particularly the rods that come with any ESM kit are no good. They are brittle and will rust easily...probably high carbon content. The rest of the hardware is just OK. I replaced about half of the hardware on the 4 ESM planes I have built. They are a good value for what you get and they fly very nice but they are more work than a standard arf particularly if you want to make a specific plane and repaint. These planes are easy to paint and add detail to. You will enjoy the B-25.
