This is a dream for someone wanting to scale a B-24 up. As usual Flightline & MotionRC have produced a superb model. Only thing i see lacking is the front undercarriage doors even though they have added hinges there. Ive not flown mine yet as i am adding lots of scale with lights and sound...THIS THING IS HUGE !! Well done Motion and superfast shipping as usual

Best looking model with all the details. Well built. I always make my twin engines counter rotating. Nice that this comes already done. I thing the electric connections should be moved to a lower or back farther. Once all are made it seems to put pressure on the canopy.

Removed about 50 % of clear shrink tube from ESC and mounted on side of fuselage with 1/8 in. balsa standoffs to allow for better cooling. Put 1/2 in. X 1/2 in . EPP spacer between batteries at top for cooling air. Did not see any provision for cooling air to exit fuselage. Air enters through front wheel well, but remains static in fuselage. Will reluctantly, cut a clean, round hole in bottom back of fuse for air exit. Don't underestimate the importance of proper cooling for longevity of electronics. Built linkage and added servos for both turrets and put on separate channels on sliders on DX-9. Very realistic on taxiway! The large wing spar was the wrong size and would not fit, so I had to buy a CF rod locally to finish assembly. I also added tail skid to protect the bottom paint. Added upgrade landing gear with suspension. Love the waterslide decals, but they remain hazy when they dry instead of drying clear. Home Depot makes up small sample-size paint for about $3.00 that matches perfectly. I took one the alternate nose piece in for a sample.

Flew perfectly right out of the box. Great engineering and execution. You should be VERY proud of this magnificent bird. I'd buy a B-17 if you had one. Excellent flight characteristics . I'm adding a tail skid to preserve the tail. Great going! Thanks. Can't wait for the nose gear doors.

In my previous review, I was still building the B-24,, taking my time, as weather was not friendly to out door activity! Well, yesterday turned out to be a very good day to fly a plane, and perfect to maiden the B-24. I will say, my review is a perfect 180 degrees from the scathing review I posted on the Dynam B-26! The 24 took off down the runway, like a rocket, and took to the sky like a homesick angel! Very little inputs were needed to have her flying the circuit perfectly trimmed. What a joy to see that bird fly around the field, and what power!! I had to pull way back on the throttle to slow it down to what looked like scale speed. Landing was so smooth and scale-like, as she settled in with just a little power, with out even a little bounce. My flying buddies were very impressed with it, and all liked the option to fly D and J models as desired. I could go on, but suffice to say, you guys at Flight Line have hit another home run with this bird! I compare it to the Tiger Cat, which I have enjoyed flying as well. Maybe you guys could come up with your version of the B-26 that would fly??? Thanks Motion for another winner!

Love this plane went together well ready for my maiden maybe the next run of B-24 y'all could put some navigational lights on it. It's the only thing that seems to be missing

Awesome! Thank you Motion RC for this amazing model! Fit and finish are fantastic and the design is very well thought out. The olive drab looks great! Looking forward to getting the silver version in the near future.
