Default RE: Bates B-26 Marauder

Mark....I have the "Z" B-25 101" with G-38's........similar in size and weight........definitely good throttle management is the key......with those reliable engines..........I use 15* flaps for T/O and I use 350'-400' for the T/O run.........Airspeed is your best friend........I use 30* flaps for landing....anymore than that...the plane starts to get squirrely........Unfortunately....its been sitting for awhile until I get another engine...........I have one thats been a headache so I'm just gonna change it.......Like to see you build this plane.....its one of those rare warbirds that you just don't see too often........what weight have the B-26's been coming out at?........Do the outboard wing panels have wing tubes?..........Who makes the gear for it?.........Bill......
