HELLDIVER
I know that the SB2C Helldiver had a bad reputation during the war, but have discovered that a model version flies quite well. A few years back I started building the 100" Jerry Bates Helldiver, and it's now well into it's second season and has completed 21 flights. I knew a couple other were building Helldivers around the same time, but never heard how they came out. I've only seen 2 others. One @ 1/5 scale which the pilot reported was a bit hairy in flight. The other, a 100" identical to mine. Unfortunately it last only about 6 flights. Has anyone else built Helldivers, and what kind of success have you had? The SB2C on Jerry Bates website, has it been flown?
