Why on earth do they think they have to put those toyish looking, exaggerated panel lines on the planes?!!! Really turns me off! :Angry:Doc

It's great when a product comes along that shakes the status quo. Lemon Receivers and the B-24. As for panel lines, that was the first thing I noticed as well. Now, that could be because of the light causing shadow in the photograph. Maybe George can give us his opinion.
If it turns out that the panels lines are exaggerated, that would mean filling in the panel lines and a complete repaint. That was a problem with the Hobby King B-17 v 1 if I remember correctly.

I'm not a fan of lemon receivers. I appreciate that Spektrum is overpriced relatively, but around here, the guys flying lemons are losing more planes. Is it the radio or the pilot? Usually it's the pilot, but i don't want to go cheap on a plane this nice especially after all the hours invested in paint schemes and scale details.
Still undecided about powersafe vs std receiver.
I am starting to settle in on a,formation ship scheme.

Lemons are okay IMO. But I have a handful of them that are totally dead. Won’t bind. Won’t even blink. Not the total nirvana for rx’s. Just my experience. Maybe not everyone’s. I still use them. Clearly cheaper though.
I still place Spektrum in my higher value planes just for peace of mind. One less thing to blame when I crash something. lol

I've had problems with FPV if the video transmitter is anywhere near the receivers, in particular the gps receiver. Blanket out the gps and you're done regardless of receiver used

Hey my workbench is cleared, well, mostly... (Its amazing actually, first time I've seen it clean since around this time last year) and I'm looking for something new to put on it.
Where's that B24? Where's that P61? Where's that F4antom? LOL
Just relaxing, watching the game....

Ack! I can't watch those games anymore. But another topic another place... I'm looking forward to being able to fly and build again myself. Since alot of crappy stuff happened the last few weeks. My only vehicles engine blew, and my dx8 died. Lately I just wanna hide under a rock until this luck passes, but the rock would fall and crush me. Lol

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.
