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

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

[Evan D]

I did it with gear down.

Did it with the gear down.

Flew the maiden flight Thursday and it was perfect. I won the $500 dollar Motion RC Gift Card on the MRC end of 2023 live stream and used it to buy the Flightline B25.

Hello All,
Myself and an other club member had failed B-25 maiden flights. Both models experienced model banking sharply once airborne with no aileron control. I did repurchase a new model and had no issues noted on it's maiden. Has anyone heard of other similar reports?

[Evan D]

Sounds like the aileron gyro setting was reversed.

I crashed my first1200 e flight corsair from that reversed gyro... waaay back... now without fail i check direction and gyro direction,, takes 5 seconds( well worth it) modern stuffs great till its set up wrong

I noticed a lot of the spare parts for the B-25 are out of stock. I managed to ding mine up….:(

Does anyone at MRC have an idea on when out of stock spares might be back in stock? A shame that this new released model has so many parts unavailable.

I had the same thing happen with mine on its first and only flight so far. Lifted off and it wanted to bank to the left. Went into a nosedive and somehow, I managed to save it and land it in one piece. Still not sure why. I did have aileron control and had to hold right aileron input to keep it straight. I did notice after landing that the right aileron was a little warped on the inner edge and hanging low. I straightened that out using a hot towel and clamps but not sure if that was the problem. I'll find out next time I try. At least I'll be a little bit prepared if it does it again.

Triple check that the gyro is correcting the right way for all three axis.

[FlyinHawaiian]

I don't have a gyro in mine. using a Futaba 10j radio and receiver. I did do a pre flight check and all control surfaces moved in the correct direction
