i ordered mine in the middle of august from towers. when did you order yours ken?

The second shipment has already arrived. As soon as they are Q.C.'d and decals inserted they, too will be in the "pipeline" and I believe all back-orders will be filled. I don't think anybody will be waiting too much longer than a week or so.

My LHS told me that my ordered B-25 is in the way, and I should received them by Monday October 22. I already had buy everything to complete it as soon as possible.

I ordered mine approx. 2-3 weeks ago.

Tim,
ANOTHER covering question. Regarding the diagonal multple white stipes on the aft fuselage. Are they easly removable? Or are they integrated into the O.D. covering?
We fly at the actual departure site of Doolittle's original aircraft (The restored U.S.S. Hornet resides in a berth at the edge of our field). I digress...Would like to scale the TF B-25 as close as possible to one of J.D.'s Raiders.
Thanks
Mike

I am very happy, just ordered the last one from O'Briens hobbies. I had the last one of 50 he had in stock. I got the plane for $599 and the retracts for $309 mind you the shipping to the UK is around $400 !! God I must be crazy !
Already have the Twin Sync as it works great on the cessna 310, just need santa to bring me a pair of OS 70's for christmas.

did anyone get there plane in yet???

if anyone did, lets us know when you ordered it and how she looks!!!!

I will receive mine for sure by bext Monday October 22nd. UPS already confirmed us that they will deliver the box on Monday. I will let you know how it looks. I ordered mine by July.

Hi Mike.

The stripes on the fuselage are white MonoKote. They should peel off without too much difficulty. After you get them off, cut off a small piece of paper towel, dampen it with a few drops of CA debonder and wipe off any adhesive/residue that may have remained on the olive MonoKote. If you have any real difficulty peeling off a part of the stripes, you can heat the area with a covering iron and peel the stripe while the adhesive is still soft.

Keep us updated on your progress.

P.S. I started another thread about the Top Flite B-25 with lots of assembly tips and covering tips too. Everybody should check out the thread.

Tim

Hi Dave. [8D]

Thanks Ken!

Thanks Ken

Check in

I received my plane yesterday. I checked and seems that everything is ok. I will start building it next weekend. I will post photos as soon as I removed the parts from the box. I already have the robart retracts as well as a pair of OS 70 Surpass 4 cycle engines. Everything look well package and in order. I will do a complete inventory in the weekend but, I don't expect anything missing.

well i am buying both b-25s top flites and h-9 both will be electric. i will do an all out scale up on the top flite as it is much more scale. the h-9 will be a fun flyer. i have the h-9 now not bad the tf should be here soon

well UPS is now stating that it will be here on wednesday. which is even better!

i will most likely start the build over the weekend. i already have the retracts, wheels and tires, pilot set, all radio gear and engines. i will post pictures as i go.

Mine just arrived this morning, initial inspection looks fine. Will take a good look tonight.

Would this new gas engine be suitable?RCGF 15cc Petrol Engine

If you saw my first reply, forget it. I was thinking .15 cubic inches, not 15cc.

It may be OK, but it is still a large engine, bigger than the typical .40 to .60 engines used on the B-25 ARF
