Official FMS 1470mm B-25 Thread

Bob, how does the nose gear hold up?

G, the stock nose gear are insufficient. They have always, to me, been the sore spot on this plane. All of mine are modded with a FMS P-39 nose gear with oleo. This mod seems to be bullet-proof so far. It is a simple mod. Well worth the ~$16 and an hour or so.

What oleo are you using?

[Grossman56]

I love the FMS B-25. I currently have 4 operational B-25s!


Bob

Ah the Ruptured Duck, everyone remembers thirty seconds over Tokyo. That's Ted Lawson's plane.

This is the one. I use the smaller of the set:

Yes. That is my favorite war movie. This is my second Ruptured Duck. I lost the first a couple of years ago to loss of signal.

Or it crashed on a beach on the Chinese coast....
I wonder if anyone ever looked for any evidence of the airplane being there, might make a good documentary.

I ended up purchasing the green version because it was on sale.
From what I understand, some of the things to look out for is the throttle remaining on for a few seconds after giving it zero throttle.
The fix on uTube was to cut the direct lead leads from the motors to the ESC and make a connector so it just goes to the ESC.
Also, tires might be too small for grass.
Possible Servo issues.
Anyone else own this aircraft that can give me any feedback?

I refuse to order anything from that store.
