HC-Hobby B-25 Mitchell w/Nav Lights & Retracts (ARF)

We do not stock this aircraft any longer. Please look at the FMS B-25 Mitchell as a suitable replacement.

HC-Hobby B-25 "Mitchell" twin propeller Bomber with Sequenced Retractable landing gear & doors with LED Navigation lights
This is the same aircraft sold overseas under the "eRC" brand in a different paint scheme

*Important*
This aircraft comes in ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) kit only. ARF kit includes a battery, but no radio gear.

Can it do grass? YES IT CAN!
One of the most important features of an aircraft in Australia is it's ability to take off and land on a grass runway.

Have you (ChargedRC) flown it? Not yet.
At ChargedRC we are working towards building and flying every kit we sell. After all, you can't really write a description of flight characteristics without flying it yourself right?

Description:
This is an a amazing model from HC-Hobby! The Warbird fans out there will agree with us! HC-Hobby have done an excellent job with this B-25. The stock kit features twin counter-rotating propellers, pre-installed LED navigation lights and sequenced landing gears with sequenced servo-operated gear doors. Sequenced landing gear and doors are practically unheard of in a model of this size and price! The stock power system is plenty for scale like flight and the gear is robust enough to handle grass.

All in all an amazing kit and one that will be taking up a permanent residence in our own hanger :)

The photos below are of the overseas version of this aircraft. This page will be updated as soon as our stock arrives and we can build an aircraft to photograph.

Pilot Skill:
ChargedRC recommends an experienced pilot. Not sure until we actually fly one, so will update this section if required once we've taken one for a spin.

Extra stuff (for your information):
Please note that all aircraft kits are now double boxed for shipping and the cost of double boxing is now included in the shipping cost. Our courier allows us to place "Fragile" and "Top Load Only" markings on the kit boxes we send with them, so double boxing is usually enough protection for your expensive model. We do offer insurance and a re-delivery (courier will attempt re-delivery of package instead of leaving it) service if you like so please send us an email before placing your order if you wish to have these services.

Required:

• Your own radio gear as this is an ARF kit.
• 3s capable LiPo charger
• 2 part epoxy or foam safe CA glue with accelerator (we recommend that you use these glues if the kit does not include epoxy)

Rating:

This twin engine plane is a very smooth flyer. However its important that the ESC is properly synchronized other wise the plane would spin and stalled
in take off. (Better still replace the stock ESC with 30 amps Turnigy or Castle Creation ESC). Avoid deploying the Landing gear while in flight, only
when your are ready land as the large landing gear door create a drag. Aside from this minor issues the plane fly nicely.
