So you plan on making it a later version - Privateer, with the large single fin and rudder?
What my Dad flew in WWII was basically a B-24D. He flew with the first photographic unit which mapped out the march through the South Pacific......this was a Marine Corps outfit, thus the Navy version PB4Y1.
This was a project my dad started back in the late 90's which he never saw finished. He passed in 2003. My Louisiana friend, Jeffrey Pike, finished the project to the flight ready stage and I flew it in team scale at this year's Mint Julep Scale Classic. It wasn't finished yet with all the bells and whistles or markings or even properly working flaps, but we did get a good maiden flight and 4 flights during the contest. Shoot, you can see the bean bag up front for balance. Jeffrey hopes to have it looking nice for the Scale Nationals to be flown next weekend. I am from Indiana, so we don't get any practice time. I guess we will practice during the first couple of flights at the Nats and then hope for a good 3rd and 4th round.
These pictures are engine tuning and roll out for the maiden fight.....oh, by the way, this is a 1/12 scale model built from Palmer plans. It spans 110 inches and is powered by 4 OS 26 four stroke engines.....don't know what the weight is.
