E flight makes a very nice p38 kit but its rather exspencive to get up and flying you may want to look into it for a next kit also i read the comments about NiMH and LiPo and although the LiPo bats are much more $ they have none of the negitives no memory real nice vid tho i liked watching
Cool Thanks! I've been looking at a very similar model..EPP foam,NiMH, 19in.wing span etc.. I'll probably get it after seeing this..I love rc warbirds that fly well :)
In fact the problem is the batteries. No matter of 6,4 or 7,2 V it's more about the maintenance. My advice: Learn about the right way of loading and unloading them before use and a suitable battery charger. Never discharge completely, don't overheat, loading currents and all that stuff ;-)
No problems with the shafts yet after approx 200 crashes on trees, fences, parking cars or solid ground. As the shafts aren't fixed directly to the motor replacement should be easy. Only lost a few wheels on hard landings ;-)
Great..Thanks again for the help ..I have one on order now,I may also try the lipo mod after I get used to it :) ..btw I like the music and sounds effects you added to this vid clip are great!
Seems your batteries aren't fully loaded. Charged with the remote control? I also had the Betty first but it never flew longer than a few seconds. Bought an extra battery loader but still the engines (there a two, right ;-) didn't seem to have enough power to get the plane into safe heights. It went better when I replaced the Ni-Mh batteries with LiPos- then changed to the P-38 which is easier to handle.
Cool i got The b-17

Unscrew gear case, get a grip on the pivot with small pliers and slowly twist off the propeller!!!

Right now, you can get the plane and two esc's and two motors for 250, they dropped the price or added electronics
