Default RE: Bates B-26 Marauder

Mark.....Yes,..I'm aware the A-26(Douglas) and the B-26(Martin)...are 2 different birds.........just reflecting what I know about each @ this point..........always room to learn more......I know from flying twin warbirds that they present many more potential predicaments than the single engine warbirds..........not to be construed as reason to back away from them ....just to be aware of them........big,high wing load warbird twins are risky challenges....with a much greater potential for damage........can't leave any stone unturned.......they need to be 100% or don't fly....thats when problems arise............I'm sure the Bates B-26 flies well......but its always nice to hear from present/past owners and their experiences with them.........and I just haven't come across any up to now........What powerplants do you plan on using?........Bill....
