Official FlightLine 1600mm B-25J Mitchell PNP Thread

[Elbee]

I'm embarrassed to say we now have ANOTHER delay with the B-25 due to a different governmental agency who wants to inspect our shipment. As you know, the initial USA shipment of FlightLine B-25 was chosen by US Customs for a random VACIS inspection. This inspection was completed without issue on August 9th. This delay was frustrating but understandable. Normally, the container would arrive at Motion RC shortly after this US Customs inspection but a different governing body (the CPSC) has decided they want to do an exam which is going to cause another 2 week delay. The second inspection is not related to the first inspection. We sincerely apologize! We've never had any shipment subject to 2 different exams in the history of Motion RC. The shipment has been in the USA since late July but will see another 2 week delay for this second inspection. We currently expect the B-25 shipment to arrive at Motion RC at the end of August. I'm so sorry for the delay and embarrassed I have to keep pushing the arrival date back.

57, Thank you for the update, Sir.

I'm okay with whatever must be done as long as those inspecting the contents don't use my Mitchell as a step ladder.

Best, LB

Tom, thank you for letting us know. That is more than anyone else would have done.

CBP is helping you with that.

I'm hoping that my B-25 takes a really long time to get here. That way, I can delay assembling it, flying it, and enjoying it, for as long as possible...

I keep resisting making an unfulfilled joke.

Hey Marcopolo! Congrats on your maiden. Those of us across the pond are waiting for our deliveries, which will be soon I hope. Any chance you got some video of your flights that you would be willing to share? I really love what Wes and the other folks at Motion do, but it would be nice to see some more from a customer perspective. Great pictures btw!

Joined the US Waiting List crowd the other day. Looking forward to this one!

Maiden completed today on a 6s 5000 admiral, couldn’t believe it, I did a 4 minute flight and it came back at 83% I carried on with another 5 minutes and ended up with 50% left, 9 minutes on the same battery, fantastic even though it was half throttle for the two flights, more than happy with the quality, scale and flying characteristics. Well worth the money, decals are great, strong and easy to apply. Thanks Motion.

Thanks for the pictures. Looking forward to US delivery. Bravo Zulu, Sir. Best, LB

A 3D printed nose with cannons! I'm now just learning the differences but both the G and H models look mean.

I would love to do this too. Have 3d printer, just need to find some time to make one.

I know, but with her wait times and her going on vacation I'll do the FW scheme.

[Gilatrout]

My favorite too. I like Mitch the Witch but the tail is too much. I don't like any of Callies offerings either.

Callie will do whatever you want. Just point her at some reference photos or drawings and you’ll get exactly what you want

Looks like a keeper! I'll definitely be snagging one.
