    I like it. Keep thinking I want a bomber at some point. How does it fly?

      I haven't flown this one yet.  However, the FMS B-25 has received pretty good reviews and there is a strong following over on RC Groups.

        Maidened the plane, happy to report it flies great.  Pretty much what we have come to expect from FMS, looks good, very little work to assemble, flies good and handles our club grass runway with no issues.

          I loved your DHC-2 Beavers on RCGroups and I'll love this paint job here! Looks great!

            Thanks folks.  Finally got some in flight photos.  This plane is an attention getter at the field!

              Looks awesome, that second pic man, given a little distance, hard to determine that from the real deal!
