The He-111 was the first to sell out and did so quickly. I have a feeling that the Do-335 will do the same thing.

First off, I love my 111. It is a rock-solid model and the detailing is beautiful. Here's how I've outfitted my 111:.....

Making progress on fully scale gear with working oleos. "shocks" and axle are stainless steel. Wheels are commercial with scale covers. Rest is "ABS like", and should be plenty strong. Retracts will need more metal in them. Still figuring how to make that as simply as possible. Will probably use my metal set on my plane since they are already done, but this is a fun project. I've got spare sets of wheel covers.

Well, it has been a long time coming, but the He-111 was maidened today by both Karltrek and Lord Emperor Teng. She flew beautifully. She is heavy and fast. I had to re-think my landing gear doors as they were just were too flimsy. I removed the clamshell doors and cut slots in the bottom of the nacelles for the gear.
I give the Black Horse He-111 a "thumbs-up"!

Hey guys. Just bought a kit this week. Very impressed with the detail and quality so far. I did notice that the alignment dowels on the wings are not wanting to seat completely in the fuselage. I tried reaming out the holes in the fuselage a little and it still seems to not want to seat all the way?3 Photos

I received my second He-111 yesterday. I am anxious to build it but am still deciding on which scheme for it! I will use the same power and landing gear set-up as my first He-111. The power system with 4S batteries made for a very fast bomber. I have decided to fly using 3S batteries for the next flights.

The guys here fly the Black Horse He-111 like a Mosquito, yikes! I think a lightweight setup is key to flying it closer to bomber-like. Let us know what your 3s setup ends up weighing, Bob!

Finally got out the exacto and started my landing gear install. After adjusting the mounts a bit, it fits neatly between the two ribs in the bay - just had to cut back the skin to the rear spar. Everything goes right where it should, though the nacelle is not made quite deep enough for scale gear. I'll have to build that up a bit, or when I cut out for scale doors, the doors may hang open a bit to clear the tires. Haven't decided how to do the retract servo yet. Will have to get creative.1 Photo

Just about done getting my gear install figured out. I have it set up for pneumatics, but will ultimately use a servo instead. I think I earned my nerd card as I redesigned the front airframe mount for literally the 14th time - The scale mount reinforcing brackets have the scale number and size of rivets! The gear bay nacelle is way off scale, so will have to remake that to allow for proper opening doors
I don't work with glass much - what weight of cloth should I use for the doors? single or multiple layers? Thanks!
