I did it with gear down.

On this B25, is the CG set with the landing gear up or down?

The effects of my stroke (left arm and hand) have kept me grounded since January 8th. I am doing my best to overcome thia, Meanwhile, my beautiful B-25 sits in her box!

Harman Welcome to "The Squawk". Glad to have you here.

Not certain why no one is posting, could be a simple as family and Holiday preparations.

I know we're busy tying up loose ends, though I'll be posting my build starting after the New Year.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Best, LB

This is by far the best B-25 ever to come out but why has this post dried up.

Many Thanks

Handles it well. Only issue is the props tend to cut grass if it is not a well-manicured field. No flaps it jumps up pretty quick. Take off flaps is even quicker. With full flaps during landing, it lands slow with little roll out.

Hi guys, I do fancy a B25, any of you fly off grass and how much does it slow down for landing as our club strip only around 50mtrs, Thanks

Finally got a chance to take some inflight shots of my Apache Princess B-25. Graphics are from Callie.

HF, love that livery, love that airframe, and sooper-dooper photos. All very nicely done, Sir. Best, LB

See my post #369. It happened to me, on bench setup, after 7 short flights. MRC (EU) did not recognize it was a faulty ESC because "they were not there to witness what happened" and I could not prove it was not my fault, so no warranty (despite the EU regulation explicitely mention the seller has to prove the faulty usage within the first 6 months). However, they provided me with a gift card. I could replace the motor, the ESC and plastic cover. But not the damaged nacelle (and I didn' t want to buy 2 nacelles when only one was impacted). The plane is ready to fly again but now I have one motor doing a strange noise at startup... like previously the right one before I got fire... Throttle stick is calibrated and both ESC too. I have to recheck one by one to identify which motor is noisy. In any case, next time I go flying, I will have an extinguisher ready too.
And I found why I could not setup the ESC... My receiver channel on which the "faulty" ESC was connected, died, I assume due the ESC incident as it was working perfectly before.

I had same problem with receiver channel. Both motors/ESC were replaced. Did taxi tests at full power other day and will do power test to see if ESC can handle power. Do not trust ESC's so will most likely change both to be on safe side.

Mine did. never had throttle more than 30% Not sure on the other one. Pic's look same as yours

Fast N Light Pulled the factory front tire off the stock wheel (same process as Ive done with the Freewing Mains), and mounted her on the narrow G-18 3DP front wheel. Got some nice flights in off grass with all three wheels now on the plane. Looks great, performs great, and holding up great. Printed with Bambu labs ASA filament.

A lot less expensive option than the Robart Tire. For about $10 get a set of replacement wheels from Motion RC and some dissection, glue and you are looking scale.

She looks great! Happy those are working well
