Thanks Ryan, that's what I've been doing. I've read some people don't do it that way saying it's not necessary while others say it is to get the full range of the throttle.

TiredIronGRB Looking really good, but why is your cockpit glass so hard to see thru? Did you do that or the factory?Don't just fly--WREAK HAVOC!!!Comment

UPS man knocked my door at 9:00pm PDT. Good thing I wasn't in bed. I opened up the box and took all the parts out and the B26 appears to be undamaged. If I didn't have work tomorrow I would put it together tonight.

Was tiredirons bird called "reefer madness" or did i read it wrong? The pilot looks a little like cheech. Bet FBO was "labrador". I had one loose piece of lead and one in place. I would not have not have seen the one in place without the heads up from an earlier post,they are quite hidden. Pulled wing off,found pinched but unbroken wires and same pulled up wing mounts, a few loose flap hinges. Read all posts and watched all related videos before i started assembly. Thanks to all who provided the hints and tips.Still flying P.15, avanti(#2), mig 21, yak 130 70mm(#2), f35, f9f panther, a10 64mm, F8 crusader/ PA ultimate amr /HK skipper, durafly dh vampire, p 51,spit mk24, corsair, flybeam/ BH f86 50mm, deltawing 50mm/ HH su 26 mm,umx pitts,umx sbach, blade nano cp s,blade 450x, inductrix 200, inductrix pro, umx yak 54,umx f27 fpv/ electrifly 4s L39/ flyzone beaver/ volantix asw 28, /dynam B26

Hey Bob, Got mine on Sat. last week and even though I'm trying to get my Bearcat ready for its maiden, I had to dig in. Started out trying to screw the hor. and vert. fins in from the top, but thanks to Ryan's build vid saw the holes on the bottom of the fuse. From there on all went well. I had her together in a matter of hours. Now on to the electrons. First had to I.D. the servos ala a tester. The numbers on the leads are different than the norm. I decided to not resolder deans plugs on the motor leads and bought a XT60 connector (it'll be the only plane I've done that on.As one of the guys in the thread, not sure if I'm going to use a 3600 or a 4000 for the maiden. Also, going to sub Robart cross threaded tires for those balloons! And weathering! Going to try the water and salt techique but will try it out first on a scrap piece of already painted foam. Paint scheme...going for Flak Bait. Already got my decals from Callie. Haven't looked at the top hatch on the wing to see if it has the same problem that some of the guys have found. Looks like an easy fix.I'm going to wait to maiden her until the repaint. Let me know how yours is coming along. As for bomb bay doors, which I know you love, I'm sure you won't try to do bi-fold doors. Big problem and as you say, who can tell once the plane is in the air. Miss you and Tsukai. See what you've been happening with you guys on the net. Happy landings,

The numbers are for futaba, so you have to switch throttle and elevator if flying jr/spektrum. From what I can remember on futaba throttle is 3 and elevator is 2. Ailerons are 1 and rudder is 4. Gear and flaps are still 5 and 6Comment

Hey Adam, Brent here! Got mine Sat. and saw in on the front porch when I got home from the event at Apollo. Big box to say the least. To tried to even open it up, but jumped into it after breakfast on Sun. and had it together except for the top of the wing piece by the afternoon. The biggest deal is the electronics. Was going to us a Lemon rec., but decided on a better one. Ordered Robart cross threaded tires, mains and nose. Paint scheme: Flak Bait; I also had gotten decals from Callie Graphics after the preorder. Looking forward to flying with you. Keep me posted on your build and I'll do the same. Cheers!

You guys are slacking...you haven't noticed something ;)Comment

I did some more looking in the rear of the fuselage, and there are two weights in this bird. Only one of mine fell out in shipping. They are standing vertically in the fuse walls, both port and starboard... If the tail guns are in place, you really can't see them... Also, for ESC cooling, I cut the area out of the dummy radials, between the bottom 4 cylinder heads with a dremel tool. Otherwise, I just can't see any airflow getting into the nacelle. This may help a little....Comment

TI, do you mean that your "football" is on the top of the fuse and not the bottom??? LOL I thought that was for when you are flying inverted......
