I haven’t had a chance to maiden this yet, hoping that can happen next week. I think that scaling these plans would present some challenges with the engine mounts, flap mechanism, and alignment of the center channel due to the changing thickness of the foam if you just scale the plans. I see that John Overstreet has designed a FT master series of the B-25 which I assume will be released one day (probably not soon though!) which will be more like a 50” wingspan plane.
I’ll post a flight video when I get a chance to fly it, hopefully in a week or so. I have a bunch of pictures taken during the build. Most of them I posted in the Billy Mitchell was Right thread while I was building it.
That flew great! Just curious, how did the landing work out?
Well, I ran the 5000mah battery completely out in 12 minutes and landed it power off into the water. Recovered it with a canoe with no damage so that worked out pretty well. If memory serves correct that’s how the first B25 flights from aircraft carriers near Japan ended too!
Right on!!!! Hit me up with any questions you have along the way and I’ll do my best to help out.
Thanks in advance!
Looking good! I run mine on 3536 1200kv with 10x5 prop on 3S and it flies nicely. Your setup will scream!
