“Love the airplane but due to a botched landing I need new wings. Been waiting 4 months now and still no parts in stock.Would really like to get this thing back in the air.”

“Hey Dennis from PA. I had the same problem with 3 of the retracts, the problem and solution was posted on my comments in the Hobby Squawk thread. The pin may protrude too far down in the trunion impeding the screws drive midway during retract. Remove the pin and sand it down so it is flush with the bottom of the trunion, works like a dream then. This is a problem with other retracts as well.”

“Love the looks of this B-24. The plane went together well, no problems building. Added the shock absorbing main gears - they look great and work great. The shock absorbency gears seem to help alleviate prop strikes on landing as I have yet to break a prop – knock on wood. Had Callie Graphics make up a set for a B 24 named “Net Results” that flew from Okinawa in 1945. I find that the plane flys a bit on the fast side of scale at half throttle - definitely not a floater. Also, I have found that she had a rather extended turning radius (sometime requires a 90 degree bank to keep the plane in close - especially setting up for final approaches).BUT - it’s a B-24 and it looks great. Maybe some more stick time and I’ll be more comfortable with her (My favorite is still the F7F Tigercat - can’t beat that bird)1”

“Easy to assemble. What with no doors front landing gear? Takes off the grass nice. Looks great with blue sky's. The suns reflection off the wings is nice. 4 stars over all.”

“I have had a chance to look at 2 retract units for the B-24 that were replaced. Both with the same problem . They hang up/lock up in the cycle especially on the upward cycle, The screw shaft has some slop in the system. It is a conventional screw jack system but there are a few problems with these.The screw has a lot of float as the front gear and back shaft points are not very secure and relies on a free floating spacer threaded to hold the screw shaft in position . The rear spacer has a threaded hole for the screw to pass through. I cleaned up the threads on them..Also the retaining holes in both case sides have a lot of friction resistance in the fit of the gear rotating block . This also may cause the screw shaft to buckle and lose contact with the drive gear. I'm not an engineer but I did open the case holes very very slightly and made the L/G shaft retention piece firmly attached to the case and lightly greased the screw. So far it seem to work well. Perhaps Motion can get Freewing to do a fix on this problem. Otherwise the B-24 is really a great flying model .”

“This is a great plane. I now have 4 FlightLine planes, the Olive Liberator, the 1600mm Spitfire and the 90mm Stinger jet, all outstanding products. I was looking for a silver B-17, but didn't like the available products comparing it with my Olive B-24, so bought the silver one, added a little extra paint, Callie's decals, the suspension struts, Mr. RC Sound card and redid the cockpits and top & front turrets with the 3D parts and added servos. Hooked the sound card up to the opposite battery as the BEC. These planes are real eye catchers at the field. If you want to fly scale, turn with the rudder and opposite ailerons to keep it flat, or you can still fly it light a fighter and do loops, rolls, Cuban 8's and it climbs with the best of them. Get 8-10 minutes on the 4S 4000's and has plenty of power and cruises at 50%-60% throttle. It tracks straight on take-off and lands like a dream, just keep enough power coming in to land smoothly. The speakers and sound card fit a little tight (see my post on Hobby Squak-Liberator thread #1037 and video under #1168 if interested). A flight video of the Olive is in my thread #1181. There are plenty of customizing opportunities, so have at it. Just wish FlightLine would re-introduce a B-17 in this same size with similar finishes and components as the B-24. This is one plane that you should consider getting both versions.”
