My gunship conversion in a fantasy livery...

Very nice! Well done.

I detailed the top turret by using 1/32" chrome tape on the dome and sections of the bottom of a Diet Dr. Pepper aluminum can to make the slot shields.

[Charlee]

I wasn't going to detail the bomb bay doors until Davegee did his. I cut it out of .015 Evergreen plastic sheet and found a hole punch that was the right size (3/8"). The factory specs that I have for the interior colors for the B-25 specify that the doors remain nature aluminum. Dave, please check in. We haven't heard from you in a while.

Except for a few minor details, the conversion of the B-25J into a PBJ-iJ is complete.

What is the connector with a yellow wire marked "reverse brake" for and what does it plug into?

If you have the spare channel you can add that reverse brake on your receiver and assign the switch on your radio to activate that function which basically acts like a speed brake to slow your landing roll out.

How much room do you need to fly this plane?

[f4u ausie]

Yep 4 me fat guy flys was what helped me set up as3x.. only trouble I had was the ailerons were correcting wrong way so reversed them.. vwala. Watch it over and over.. it will eventually make sense Oh watch it in conjunction with reading the receiver instructions

I just found this plane and am interested but I’ve only flown Eflite planes that have Safe and AS3X capability. Never flown anything by FlightLine or even Motionnpro. Does the B25 have that type of capability?

The B-25 does not come with a receiver so you can put what ever type you like into it. If you use a Spektrum Rx which is AS3X & SAFE capable, the B-25 can be set up to fly with it. There are a few videos on YouTube which can walk you thru the process. FGFRC did a decent one in the last year or so.

Best to set it up at home. Check EVERYTHING twice. Then have someone at your field or local hobby shop check it one last time. After you do a couple of them, it becomes pretty easy.

Mine has an AR8360T which is set up to include AS3X an SAFE. I use the 7th channel for the bomb bay doors and the 8th for independent control of the nose wheel steering.

AS3X and SAFE are built into the receiver. Get a Spektrum receiver with them and set them up and you got it. You’ll find the B-25 is better quality than you’re used to.

Jackswr,

Not to my knowledge, if anything, ask the MotionRC CS Rep in the chat option on their website.

I am modifying and repainting my B-25 and have not yet gotten to the electrics.

These will accept any TX/RX combo as those are required to finish the model.

However, I am not familiar with the Eflite Safe and AS3X capability electronics.

By the way, welcome to Hobby Squawk, Sir, very glad to have you onboard.

Best, LB

Thank you for the assist that did the trick. I will be sure to break out the camera should this ever happen again.
