apemax Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Hello everyone, Well it's been over a year since I last posted here however I've finally finished my B-25 I've been working on for just over a year and a half. It's had several major rebuilds of certain sections since the WIP topic I posted but It's finally at a point where I can call it finished and start on something else. Some basic info first, It's wingspan is roughly 3ft (around 92cm), Fuselage length is about 2ft 6in (around 76cm), It has a XL motor for each engine. so that makes two, It has two M motors powering the landing gear and it also has working flaps, ailerons, rudders and elevators (All controlled though the control column and gear wheel in the cockpit.). The top turret can rotate 360 degrees as well. As you may notice in the pictures below I ended up not being able to fit the battery box into the actual model as there just wasn't enough room for it, As it turned out though it came in handy as one of the annoying flaws with this model is it won't actually sit on it's landing gear, It just falls backwards so the battery box was just the right hight to prop it up. I spent a long time thinking about the problem but couldn't come up with a solution for this particular model so it's just something I'll have to keep in mind for future aircraft with tricycle landing gear. Anyway, on with the pictures. More pictures can be found on brickshelf here: (once it's public) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=563243 And on google photos here: https://goo.gl/photos/JHBLxofc9MjLfL9X8 Finally a video of it: Hope you all like it and thanks for reading/looking.

aidenpons Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My only complaint is that it doesn't take off More seriously, if you did tilt the blades a bit & put the landing gear down, will it slowly accelerate forward? It's nice to have it in the one colourscheme (okay, black) too - your previous one was a bit crazy. This looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yajmo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 This is so cool. I was impressed. Then you started activating the moving parts and I was amazed! Fine work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the blades are already tilted to about the right angle and when I ran the engines the landing gear was down (although it was sat on the battery box) but even at the speed they can go at it's way to heavy for simple brick built blades to move it. Yeah I'm trying to stick with better colour schemes these days. On 22/03/2016 at 9:32 AM, Yajmo said: This is so cool. I was impressed. Then you started activating the moving parts and I was amazed!
