Default TF B-25 The race is on....

Come September it will be time to compare 'apples to apples' when it comes to B-25's.....Nitro has one, KMP has one, now TF has one - which is the 'best'.....

[sm=thumbs_up.gif]C'mon... Don't even tell us that you would dare compare a YUGO with a TOYOTA....
NM is in its own class.....

NM is Not even same size... and poor detail, etc....[:'(] [>:]

$2.00 sunglasses and Oakley eyewear...[sm=shades_smile.gif]

Coming late this year.... ALL COMPOSITE... MORE DETAILS ... BETTER AND BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering if anyone knew what you get for $649--things like retracts etc??? I appreciate that there is very little info on the site but there is always someone out there who has the scoop :-

Regards,

Eric.

Retracts are optional/additional.

The retracts for the B-25, are probably the same ones that i had to wait 3-1/2 months for( Robarts)....I have a KMP B-25...No problems with mine...so far, so good..price looks the same.....

Thanks Mike! Looks great - it's more in my budget range than some of the other offerings. My list keeps getting longer and my hangar - smaller!

I hope they come out with a "ready to cover" version. Don't really care for the colors on
the Hanger 9 or the Top-flite.

Whats bad is we are loosing all of the Doolittle raiders.. I am not sure how many are left.
Looks Like TF will be around a Grand Just for the kit and the retracts.

What!?

Has hell froze over? We're FINALLY, and I do mean FINALLY going to see the mythical Top Flite B-25 ARF come out this year? And then on top of that, H9 is coming out with a B-25 too.

Well, I'm glad to see it finally happen.

On Doolittle's raiders, there are 2 living here in the Denver area. I had dinner with one of them last Spring. He was a pilot on one of the planes and was just the most modest individual you could imagine. His name is Bill Bower and he flew plane #12. The surviving members of the raid meet once each year and I believe there are about 16 left but don't quote me. We owe these men, and all those who served, a tremendous debt.

Here are the pictures that I snapped today of the TF B-25 at the Warbirds over Delaware event.

Flew very well with 4-c's purring away...

I am rather disappointed that Horizon is not suggesting a 4 stroke option for theirs. I was thinking about buying it when available. I wanted to go ahead and get engines as soon as possible but am not about to put stupid 2 strokes on it. Any suggestions for the equivilant Saito? .56 or .62?

I took a close look and you could easily fit a 52 sized 4-c in there. It is a radial cowl after all! depends on your skill and desire I guess. The 62 could be fitted and would most likely provide an excess of power.

I liked all of the B-25's that were there. Now it's just a matter of time to decide which one. I have a pair of OS 61's that are broken in and idle very well.Hmmmmm :-)
