I had a chance to walk through the real "The Dragon And Its Tail" Liberator awhile back; and it's an errie feeling; trying to nail a Luftwaffe fighter without accidently hitting the side rudder...
60-Minutes' Andy Rooney said it best: "There are many advantages the B-24 has over the B-17. But, to fly a bombing mission over Germany, I'd take the B-17!"
Whoever's flying that Liberator is an awesome pilot; the real airplane is tough enough to fly, but to control that rc model at acrosswind...not too shabby!!!
It wasn't tail heavy, as it had been flying for about 7 years before I bought it. It was, hoever, a 15 mph crosswind which made it difficult to fly with all of that side area.
This had a vinyl mylar type adhesive back material, not sure what it was called as I did not build the plane. Most people use Flite Metal on this type of finish.
do you still have the airplane? think the B24 has alot more character than the -17 ...

It looked like it was sort of tail heavy.
