Hi Dahawk: I didn't see your photos of the nosegear door of the B-24 with your post unless I'm not doing something right to pull them up. But I found a couple of photos to illustrate my point. One is my dad's B-24M before they left from England for the USA after the war. Not a great detail pic of the nose but you can see they are "splayed out," meaning not straight up and down as in the model prototype. Also attached is a pic I found online of a real B-24 and the nose gear doors, Definitely not straight down, but "splayed out" is my term for them.3 Photos

There were several models of the B-24 that had inward retracting nose gear doors, so it looks like they don't have ANY nose gear doors, but they actually did. So, if you see planes with just the naked nose gear and no doors, chances are it is a model that had the inward retracting doors and you would have to peek inside the gear well to see them. Not sure why some were designed like that, but there must have been a reason.

Yes,
I'm trying to capture the same kind of history with my Dad's Squadron. 8th Air Force, 93rd Bombardment Group 409th Bomb Squadron. There is a lot of it. He was a Tech Sarge. Hardwick, N. Africa, Hardwick,N.Africa ( Ploesti raid) Back to Hardwick.
The early models came out Consolidated's San Diego plant. Then Willow Run ( Ford) in Detroit. Then Ft.Worth. I think there were more variants coming out of the Ford plant. In fact,the very early models had very little livery at all. Maybe a squadron insignia . But I am finding nose art. I'm so excited to get this model. Wish I could open the box Christmas morning.Currently flying: Twin 80mm A-10, 80mm F5, 80mm A6, 70mm Yak-130, 70mm F-16v2,90mm Stinger 90, 70mmRC Lander F9F, Flightline F7F TigerCat, Phoenix 46 size Tucano, Flyzone L-39

Originally posted by purduephigam View PostMy apologies if this has already been touched on, but has anyone had any luck with a sound system? I love the jets, but don't think I could deny a big scale-sounding bomber. For those that are experimenting I'm wondering what the most beneficial set up would be in terms of number of transducer speakers and bass transducers, 4.1 vs ASPIRE, etc. Seems like some of the reviews cast some doubt. If anyone has a clip, please share, I'd love to hear!!
Ordered a couple of in-line JST XT-60 plugs from Hobby King

I'm trying to figure out if this plane will fit in my Maxima (I've managed to fit the 1500mm FMS P-47 and 70mm A-10, thanks in large part to the individual wing panels, as the B-24 has). Can anybody with one of the pre-release examples of the Liberator tell me what the span of the horizontal stabilizer is (rudder to rudder) and also the height of the rudders? I'm hoping this will fit on the back seat -- the length is not a problem, I can tell that already, nor are the two wing panels.

Looks like for us using Deans connectors we're going to need something to convert from Bullet or XT60 to Deans.
I'd like to know about the battery setup, my lipos are all Deans, is the XT60 the battery connection and the bullets to the motors? Hopefully that's the case because I have XT60 to Dean adapters already.
