Official FlightLine RC 2000mm B-24D/J Liberator Thread

Thanks LB :Cool:




I am currently in morning. My F7F Tigercat bit the dust due to “electrical problems.” So before I fly the B-24 again, I am going to test for functionality, tighten all the connections, and then silicone the connections so they don’t work loose - like I suspect was the cause for the demise of this Cat. I’ve had three crashes with the two F7Fs that I’ve owned - all due to electrical connections working loose. :Angry: :Angry:

so the moral to that sad story is CHECK YOUR CONNECTIONS and silicone them in place. These bigger aircraft are complex and need thorough preflights.

“Net Results” and her crew prepare for a mission.

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

:Cool:

TOA, Your Liberator is gorgeous, Sir. The "Net Results" Nose Art is amazing. The figures are cool, too. Best, LB

Alpha,

The two pilot figures and the sleeveless ground crew member are 21st-century ultimate soldier products. The other two mechanics I found on eBay under 1/18 action figures - search for mechanic & lady mechanic.

Lady Mechanic on break...

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.

Hugh, I congratulate you, Sir.:Win: Bravo Zulu. Best, Steve

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!

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 🤑 ?

[Bigray633]

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?

Congrats on the award.

Thanks for the clarification ,kinda left me scratching my head. Seems kinda weird.

First I've heard about this issue. I've slowed the flap deployment on every Fliteline and Freewing air-frame I've owned and never had this issue.

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.

[MikeT]

Yes I had the exact same experience, fortunately discovered on the ground. I put it down to slowing the flap servos through the transmitter.
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.

As I recall it was mentioned in one of Pilot Ryan and Capt Mike’s videos, but there certainly seems to be some truth in it, at least in my own personal experience.

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