RE: New TF B-25 ARF?
kahlog or is it kahloq ? Just wondering....
yes I agree Tower retails gear for some aircraft it does not sell... however in this case just as we have seen in the past I am sure we are on the HOT TRAIL of the NEW TF B-25... I would be willing to "invest" not bet in this claim
What color scheme would you do yours in??
I want TONDELAYO!! Got to see her in person and went up in the Collings Foundation B-24 WitchCraft while Tondelayo sat and waited...
Really cool!!!

The TF B-25 would be realy nice as an ARC done up in a PB-J in the tri- color scheme ( Non Spec Sea Blue, Med. Blue, White) I have always liked this scheme.[8D]

AS far as color scheme.....I would have to have the nose/navigator area clear and visible, not blue and solid painted over. Other then that, probalby some form of olive drab scheme.......the aluminum type schemes are nice, but hard to see in the air.

Can't wait to see the pictures. If it is built like the cessna twin arf, it should be a BIG seller

At 88.5" its a little bigger then the KMP which is 85". It must be lighter then since the motor requirements are less then the KMP as this one says .60-.89(dunno if that is 2-stroke or 4-stroke though). I club friend has the KMP and he's got .72 4-strokes in it which would be about same as .60 2-strokes.
I have two .46 2-strokes not being used, so I already have the power plants for the TF one if I get it.

Hey the pic IS up now! Looks decent.
Now the big question....they originally said it would also be sold as an ARC, I wonder if that is still planned.

The TF b-25 sure has my approval. Especially if it has the fiberglass parts as descibed as above. I didn't particularly care for Hanger 9's B-25 because of the cheap looking parts.

As far as the "cheap" parts of the Hangar 9, it doesnt look cheap. But, maybe some things stick out that some dont like(a few screws here or there or the less then pretty tail gun area. That can be recitified by a modeler without much cost.
If you think that the H9 looks cheap, I encourage you to take a look at the one that Nitroplanes has. http://www.nitroplanes.com/mibmi5271nig.html
Not everyone has a large bank account, but theres nothing wrong with anyone who does. Buy the one that appeals to you the most

RE: New TF B-25 ARF?
when i said that the TF is winning, i ment that its so far the one that i like as of NOW. it so far looks more scale. and as for the size from 80" to 88.5" is not that much. i'm sure if the person could get the 80 up they could get the 88.5 up too one the same run-way. its mostly going to come down to what that person can buy. if they like the bigger one and they have the money, then sure get the one you want, but if you limited on cash and you want a b-25 then cheaper is the best way for that person.
mostly need to see more pics of both planes. mostly the TF. both to me are nice planes. i want the one that is most scale like. but thats just me!

RE: New TF B-25 ARF?
The one that is the most scale is the KMP/YT. So, I suppose, that one is "winning"?. It was same price as the TF, but is now going to be completely composite(wings and everything) and its not know whether it'll go up in price or not.
Its also not possible to tell if the TF is more scale then the H9 or not with only one photo that isnt very big.
