RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

Do you have a switch that turns the Gyro on and off or do you just leave it on all the time? I read several posts from 2007 when people were really into using Gyro's but the consensus later changed...

RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

Does anyone know of a good fuel proof paint for the two different colors on the B-25? I picked up Model Master Olive Drab (FS34087) and it's way to green. I need to touch up a few spots.

RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

Just curious, but why dle-20s? If you want gas, why not go saito 91 gas or something similar? The plane was designed for an os 70fs and a dle is 1.20...that's a big jump! I think os 70 engines...

RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

I used 14x6 blade props for my first engine run. I taxied around the field for 15 minutes and then spent 45 minutes pulling grass off my plane. I'm switching back to 13x8x3 blade props before my...

Where did you hear that every Y harness has a built-in amplifier? I admit that one of the few things I buy in bulk from Hobby King is servo extenders and Y harnesses. They are relatively cheap at...

Hitech servos are pretty much the only servos I use... and I have never used an amplifier. As long as you're using quality connectors you will be fine... but avoid ever using an amplifier with those...

Norm,

I did not use soldering paste or flux which is probably my problem. The solder I used had flux built into the solder itself, but I usually prefer to use extra flux when making...

RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

Great explanation and fairly accurate when dealing with nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium. Unfortunately, it does not take the connectors into consideration. A typical JR connector is good...

I purchased the Smart Fly Power Expander Pro for my Hitec Optima 9 receiver. It's probably not needed, but I wanted to have redundancy. If you do a search on this thread, you will see several...

RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

Anyone know if a flex pipe is available for the OS 95v engine? I really don't want to cut the cowl in order to fit the stock muffler and a flex pipe seems like the perfect option.

It's actually a sea master, not a sea neptune. Following the footsteps of B-Squared, I used an OS 55 AX engine for power.

The shop is a complete mess because of the B 25 build. I am really...

RE: Top Flite B-25 ARF (Tecnical, tips, suggestions)

How do the ESM doors close? Do you have a separate actuator or does it use the same type of linkage assembly? I've spent a good 100 hours on this build to date and I have about 80% of the build...

I'm glad I tested my epoxy hinges with a light tap before moving any further in the build. WOW, they snapped clean with a VERY light tap. I used a rubber handle from a screwdriver and all 8 hinges...

What do you mean by wrong arms? I noticed some others in the wooden parts but didn't know which was which. I have fixed gear do I can finish the build until the robart electric gear arrive.

Pictures of my cockpit install. I used 8 magnets to secure the cockpit in place. I built the back using 1/8" balsa wood and the rails were made out of a hardwood.

They look very solid, but pricey given they are pneumatic.

People are using Saito 14cc engines which are gas, so if you can make them fit, you'll have some crazy power!
