RE: KMP B-25 CONSTRUCTION.
Will have pics this weekend didn't take the camera out. I used Saito 72's with MA 3 Blade 12-6 props. Turned out to be a good combo, plenty of power. Used Saito down pipes which don't have a muffler but it wasn't that loud but had a great sound. Built it stock except for a few mods. First I built my own guns. I installed two servos with metal rods for the elevator instead of there setup. I used the cable idea for the rudders but ran the cable all the way from one side to the other through one set screw on the servo arm so that I could have the same throw on both rudders. For flaps I put a servo on both inner flaps then a cable to the outer flaps. This worked out pretty good. Used the stock retracts and all has been ok. I have a great field to fly from with about 700 X 50 paved runway so I think they will be fine. I installed Robart Robo Struts all the way around and Robart scale wheels. I cut out the stock retract mounts and made new ones so that the gear was on the correct side and position then swapped the lower nacelle covers. This ended up lowering the plane a bit which now sits more scale. Nose gear has more slop than I would like but may upgrade this but doesn't cause a problem more of just a look thing. Used a Robart air kit than what came with the plane. The hose is a little bit hard to get on the cylinders but will go on and I know they won't come off in flight. Landing is easy for the most part the flaps really slow the plane down. I used full flaps and to keep about 1/3 throttle untill just before landing. This was my first twin and I could not of been more pleased.
