    Remember the sacrifices made to keep us free - 6-6-1944...

    :Cool:
    Yes, Never Forget! Omaha, Utah, Sword, Juno, Gold.

    Where did you get those pilot and crew figures?

    Already posted in "What did you Fly" today, but thought I should mention in this thread that my green "Bombshell Baby" B-24 won best World War II plane at our annual Warbirds Festival. Definitely did not expect it, I guess everyone liked the custom paint job, Callie graphics, built out cockpit and gunners with moving servos and the multi-engine sound system. Thought maybe my F-4 Blue Angel may have a shot at some category or my Corsair with sound system and warbirds pilot with moving head might have a chance in something, but this was a surprise. Took both my B-24's (I like the other better-a silver with a lot of customization) last year and not even a "sniff".:Thinking: You can see from this crummy little photo video that there were some nice planes there (and some good pilots flying them, unlike my "run for cover" usual piloting method).:Silly:So anyone out there with a B-24 (or thinking of getter one) you're my bother from another mother!:Cool: Seems spectators like them too! Here's the link also if you want a big screen: https://youtu.be/7eyrUD4nhes

    Would it be possible for the maker to come out with a PB4Y2 Privateer version in the same scale?[/QUOTE]

    Or possibly a conversion “kit” perhaps 🤑 ?

    Very nice, massive piece of kit, I love it! Would it be possible for the maker to come out with a PB4Y2 Privateer version in the same scale?

    Mark 2 subsequently posted that it was in one of Pilot Ryan's videos that this was mentioned, so it wasn't something that was "recommended by Flightline". It was a poor use of words or incorrect interpretation of an inference.

    I think slowing the flap servos is not recommended by Flightline. I removed the servo slow setting and the problem seems to have gone away.
    It isn’t as cool to have the flaps deploy instantly, but I wasn’t prepared to take the risk of asymmetric deployment.

    There is definitely truth in it. I would have been surprised and shocked if it was in any of the Flightline manuals.

    Although it is a known issue to happen to a few models due to the control box, I have not seen this recommendation in print. Can you tell us where you've seen this?
