Here is a question for a die hard fan of this aircraft.

I am presently building a 1:16 scale RC model of the B-25J and have noticed something that has hit the curiosity button.
On some of the "J" models (it may be other MKS too) I have noticed that the co-pilot has a one piece forward screen, but the pilot has a three piece forward screen set up. Can anyone tell me why.

Now there's a thing. I'd never noticed this before & can't find any reference to it. I suspect it might be a modification to incorporate a DV (direct vision) window on the pilot's side. Check out this photo. http://groups.msn.com/SUPERRABBITB25JMITCHELLBOMBER/heros.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&...

Wingspan is a shade over 4 feet.
Power will be two brush less motors (comes with brushed Tongue

)
Estimated weight hopefully just short of 2 lbs.
Functions are aileron and elevator.
Radio is my Futaba FC-16 (programmable, has my heli and other electro flyer in it)

The kit is from a Czech company, Flying Styro Kits. They seem to have a good reputation. Saw the their Me-110 (same as above roughly) in review and followed a few links and found the B-25....Love at first site. Built is going well and I am impressed by the quality.

Here are a couple of links.

Company homepage

Seller homepage It is in German click on the blue wording for pictures.

Having spoken the production company direct (good English) I will be adding retracts to mine.

Looks very nice....eagerly awaiting your finish and take to the air.......those Czechs do good work......

ps:....... take out all the heavy, power stuff, and it would make a fine PSS from the way it appears to fly on that vid..... Wink
