Flightline knocked it out of the park with this B-24. It's fit and finish is stunning and it flies on rails. The only issue is of course that it's way too overpowered. Even at 25-30% it's still moving fast on two 4S 3300mah packs. It's flight times are impressive though. I'm getting around 8-9 minutes while flying as close to scale as possible. I'm going to try two 3S packs to see if that helps tame it down some. Overall its an incredible bird and I highly recommend it.

Looks great, the first one i bought was in three pieces after 5 seconds in the air, replaced the broken parts, wrecked it again. Bought it again and wrecked it after 10 seconds.

That´s very nice but fast B-24 bomber. Went together easily. Perfect, that decals are on extra sheets, so you can easy do paint scheme you like. Flies well with 2x 3s 5000mAh, plenty of power.

Pics and videos don’t do it justice. Flies solid scale and has power to get you out of trouble. 2 4S 4000 packs gives over 8 minutes at half throttle scale flying

Haven't put it together yet, but the detail and quality look real good. Can't wait to get it in the air.

Very nice model, went together easily. I had a bad servo on one elevator and Motion RC shipped a new one immediately and I’m good to go. Have not maiden yet but expect it to be fine. I did put Callie stickers on in Diamond Lil livery. Thanks Motion, now give us a B-25 Mitchell

Take the time to read this if you are considering the B24. I’ve waited several weeks to write this as to not post some spontaneous rant. Primary issue: Quality for the Price Point At the price point of $529, the build quality / quality control leaves much to be desired. Multiple older videos online reference past listings closer to the $300 range, which I believe is much more representative of the build quality. Compared to products in this price range from other major manufactures (Horizon Hobby, Eflite) the B24 is simply — fragile. I have been exceedingly gentle with this plane, and yet the pressure from my finger pads alone when setting CG have caused dimples / dents in the foam. Similarly, even slight contact with any edge (e.g. PVC pipe when working on CG, changing batteries) will scrape the paint off, dent the foam etc. Manufacturing issues: the outboard motor of the left wing arrived with an improperly machined prop shaft that wouldn’t allow the propeller and prop hub to securely fit in place. It took some time, but after a replacement hub and spinner set failed to resolve the issue Motion RC sent a replacement prop shaft that resolved the problem. Motion RC was very helpful throughout that process. More useable space up front for batteries would have been helpful. It’s a bit tight even when using the recommended 4S Admiral batteries. The plane also gets tail-heavy very easily, so it’s a tight squeeze up front to get the CG right. Hardware: screws that come with the set are very malleable / easily stripped, use caution during assembly. Other quality issues: Pre-assembled cosmetic pieces seem hastily prepared /placed (uneven, off-center). Would be awesome if 3D printed bomb bay doors were included (especially at this price point). Positives: Massive model, great presence in the air. Multiple decal options, very aesthetically pleasing out of the box (recall, this can be short-lived if you are not VERY gentle with this model). Overall, assembly was straightforward and hobbyists of any level can most likely put this plane together. The pre-assembled control module and wiring is well done and convenient. The ESCs are easily programmed. The motors offer significant power allowing for high performance and / or efficient, scale flying. Servos were easy to center and allow plenty of throw for control surfaces. Can be temperamental early on, but does fly well once dialed in.
