Well I wanted Day 500 of my daily flying exercise to be special so I maiden-ed the B-24!
She took off easily in about 75' as I eased back on the elevator, I used the recommended rates on the first flight then dialed in the ailerons some and added in some rudder mix for the second. The B-24 is very predictable and responds as you would expect...except where the throttle is concerned, she is a rocket ship! She will cruise easily at 1/3 throttle and is faster than scale at 1/2...I'm serious when I say she would probably out run some of my jets. I got 3 minutes on the first flight and 4 on the second with 3.8 left in the packs. I had a pretty good head wind landing and didn't use flaps and she still slowed down nicely and touched down like a feather, even with a decent flare that low belly never touched.
The ONLY issue I had and it really wasn't one was that the nose wheel "girdle" blew off on a fast pass...looks better without it anyway.Comment

Have you tried it on 6S yet? I'm still doing 4S. I've seen vids of these buggers doing 165mph on 6S:Scared:. Supposedly, the stock system will handle it.Originally posted by TiredIronGRB View Post

It went in nose first on pavement and probably bounced 10 feet and as it was coming back down the 6S 3000 exploded into flames...it was the best crash I've ever had.Originally posted by Twowingtj View PostComment
