Thanks for the tutorial. Nice job. Do you think the doors will be too low for grass?

Thanks for posting that tutorial, Pat! The gear doors are a fun addition for guys not worried about ground clearance on grass. The real B-24 was insanely low slung!
Heads up to anyone on the fence about this gorgeous, efficient, easy flying bomber: We've got a sale on a select number of B-24s right now. I'm usually not the guy that heavily promotes sales, but I know there are people eyeing this bird and to be frank I also know that this bird won't likely be discounted again after this sale ends for the far foreseeable future, as it's everyday price is already a bargain for a 2000mm four engined bomber.

I transported my B-24 in an Astro van disassembled, with the wings oriented fore/aft. It fit just fine fully assembled, although I'm unsure of the exact dimensions of your Town and Country. Would you provide a measurement of the trunk door?Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Thanks for the responses. The Town and Country is 49” + depending on where you measure ....... so with the greenhouse remove it should fit in comfortably with the wings positioned fore and aft in the cargo area. I have pvc racks that allow me to carry up to 6 of the 50” size planes. Currently flying the DYNAM T28 (White and Grey), Corsair, P47, HellCat, Typhoon, and the Flightline TigerCat and P38. Looking forward to getting the B24 in the air.

I am going to work on some measurements this winter to see if I can fit the B-24 in my Fiesta. The HK B-17 won't fit because the wings are assembled as a single piece. I think the B-24 will be better with the separate wings. I think the nose will stick between the front seats and could make shifting interesting. Using my Fiesta means taking the B-24 and maybe a UMX to the field. Of course since the field isn't far from the house, I could go back home and pick up a few more planes and come back. Not sure of the future of my flying field, so holding off until next spring before buying anything that would surely need a proper field. The delay isn't a bad thing as I need to finish my Cherokee and night classes have started and will last until May. Not much time to do anything other than homework.

Originally posted by crxmanpat View PostYou will need the following to complete the install:
- Printed gear doors
- Two gear door servos; one regular and one reverse
- Two pushrods
- Y harness
- Sharp knife
First, peel off the gear bay plastic cover. Then you will need to trim the foam shoulders about midway down, as well as the raised foam at the ends. Once the doors are snapped in, there is a hole in the front mount for a keeper screw. You can see the hole in the pics, but I had not inserted the screw yet.
The pushrods, with the plastic keepers attached, need to be about 1 5/8", or 40mm, long. All I did was hot glue the servos in place, then connected them to the board using a Y harness as there is only one slot in the boards for the door servos. Works great!
Thanks for all your help and advice!
