GoMotorBids President Pat Rainey gives his opinion on this relatively easy-to-build R/C replica of the famous WWII trainer, from the time he opened the box to the time he got her in the air.

@noxqses74 Great to hear your going to get her back in the air Paul! My battery is a LiPo 4200mAh, 3 cell—11.1 Volt battery. It weighs 10.24 ounces & needs to be mounted as far forward as it can be (of course, check the CG once the battery is positioned). A couple things to add—I fly electrics and much lighter planes than this so (as my video demonstrates) I was not thinking in terms of a lot of runway. Give it 200 feet. At ¾ throttle, it grooves nicely in turns and is wonderfully stable. - Pat

Thanks for the reply, what size battery did you use with the E-Flite 25? Did you need any lead in the nose? I was not impressed with my maiden and the plane has been in moth balls since so your video has inspired me to give it another go.

@noxqses74 The CG is 4 and 1/8 to 4 and ¼ inches back of the leading edge of the wing wheel fairing. It is highly recommended to balance the plane upside down with the battery in place.

What cg did you use and where did you measure from? Thanks
