RE: Bates B-26 Marauder
I have the late great Art Johnson plans. and cowls but no canopy. I wonder if it is the same scale as the bates 26. just with the short wing. I like the earlier short wing B-26 better cause it was faster and more notorious. if what I read was correct the reason so many Maruaders were crashing is because the ground crew at preflight was using the on board electical power to test systems and by the time the plane took off the batteries were near dead and the electric variable pitch props would fail going flat when they were most needed. corrected by using GPU's. also the wing loading was quite high for the time.
