Title: B-25 Warbird
Post by: Don Hutchinson AMA5402 on March 25, 2015, 12:50:22 PM: I am roughing out the first cut of another profile warbird, the B-25J. It will be for two 25's. Is there enough interest out there to make it worth the effort to do a set of finished drawings?? The PDF files will still be $10.00. About 62 inch span, 580 wing area.

Post by: don boka on March 27, 2015, 08:10:02 PM: Hi Don.

I have been sketching a profile version of the B-25 for a long time. One question. will it have the dihedral similar to the real wing??
Just would not be a B-25 without it. I know this could be a PITA but just part of its appeal I guess.

Post by: Don Hutchinson AMA5402 on March 30, 2015, 04:24:47 PM: It's coming, slower than I like but will be a "Masterpiece" when done. So says the guy doing it! Requires much measuring and figuring to cover dihedral, two engine nacelles, control system etc. I want it to all fit together when building it. Where it doesn't, that's what Super-Fil is for! The building tips might be a book!

Hi Don,

Please refresh my memory, do you have a Pay Pal account? It sure makes paying very easy. Sent as a gift to Family/Friends there are no fees.

Thanks,

Typical Don Hutchinson stuff here, a well thought out design with excellent scale looks, proper outlines, and all combined with definite competition stunter potential. y1

Bravo! H^^

Hi Don,

I got the B-25 plans! Thanks, again! You do take cash don't you?? ;D

Post by: Don Hutchinson AMA5402 on April 13, 2015, 07:15:30 PM: Yes, I do take cash!
Title: Re: B-25 Warbird
Post by: Steve Helmick on April 13, 2015, 08:00:56 PM: The Czech is in the male! Well, it's really cash, but...

I'm crushed that you didn't include the short/solid nose version. They started out by stuffing a Navy gun (105mm, I think) into the greenhouse version there in the Philippines, but tore up the nose pretty quickly. I think Dad said the navigator/bombardier hand loaded the first gun as fast as he could, while straffing shipping. I asked him how they got ammo for a Navy gun. "No problem." I don't know if a requisition order would do it, or if they traded stuff to the Navy. I know he occasionally traded a box of cigars to the head dude at the Imperial stables for a ride on one of the Emperor's white Arabians. Got pictures of that. H^^ Steve

PS: Where can I get some free drawings online of the solid nose variant?

The option for the snub nose "H" version is included on the plans. I almost missed it with the first look too, but it's there. y1

Post by: Steve Helmick on April 13, 2015, 09:06:01 PM: Thanks, Wayne! I only had time to give the PDF's a quick glance yesterday. Did print out the instruction sheets.

I'm using Windows 8.1 and IE 10 on a new-to-me computer...it's like starting all over, finding stuff. I'll put Don's email in a folder so I'll have a backup. I haven't figured out how to save the .pdfs to a CD or memory dingus yet. <sigh> :( Steve
Title: Re: B-25 Warbird
Post by: john e. holliday on April 14, 2015, 11:17:42 AM: Don't feel lonesome about down loading the .PDF. I can down load the instructions, but not the plans my self.

Post by: Don Hutchinson AMA5402 on April 14, 2015, 07:50:05 PM: I will be mailing out disks this week to those who can't download the files from E-mail messages.

Oh, I can download the two .pdf's, but it might take me a bit to figure out how to put them onto a CDR, but I'll get 'er done. Meanwhile, I saved the email to my "MA Folder" in my email account, so I can't delete it by accident while dunging out my email inbox. Maybe tomorrow I'll work on putting them on a disc. I looked at the plans again, to see what sizes of balsa would be needed, and cross-referencing the list with what 4-5 lb wood I've got in stock. LL~ Steve
