eRC HC Hobby RC B-25 Mitchell with LED navigation lights, retracts & sequenced gear doors

HC Hobby (also sold as eRC) have done a magnificent job with this B-25 Mitchell. For an all foam aircraft with sequenced retractable landing gear with gear doors to come as 90% assembled is pretty amazing! In particular the foam on this B-25 is just great - it's really thick and dense feeling and is very hard to dent or compress from normal handling.

We've shown flight performance with the stock power setup using aftermarket GWS 10x6x3 blade props as well as with the stock propellers. On both setups 1 of each prop is counter-rotating - not just running in reverse.

This bird is just beautiful to fly and we could have played with the landing gear all day. Takeoffs look so scale with the gear cycling up nice and slow with the gear doors closing as the B-25 begins to turn away from the runway. The factory installed LED navigation lights look amazing and are clearly visible even in direct sunlight.

Flight control is excellent and she is very stable in the air. Flight surfaces are large and more than enough to give very precise control. Like all warbirds, you have to keep the power on when you land or she'll just drop onto the runway, but the foam construction makes for very easy repairs. The gear is also VERY robust - we have done several heavy landings with ours and the gear is still working perfectly.

Nice flying and good landing also. The B-25 looks like quite a capable aircraft.

that would be so sweet sort of it there was three fuel tanks like in the wings and in the fuselage
