Yesterday,

got to finish the process with automative Goop glue on rib’s and join’s on the left ENG (1) nacelle. All look good as both ENG (Left ENG 1 & Right ENG 2 ) nacelles have been complet on the re-enforce process.

Been putting together the ENG 1 & ENG 2 nacelles for a test try on the wings.
Did inplant and not glue yet the 2 dowell’s in the wing edges to hold down the front of the nacelles to the wings.

Both nacelles & wings join together like a breaze …

Here is one of the retractable main gear with the scale strut by Robart RG air system. Will be looking at the operating doors soon.

Front Nose retractable gear and door bay area soon to be done also with operating door.

ENG nacelle with bottom wing attach.

Powerplant Battery tray wood devise where the Lipo’s batteries will later be hold down & attach during flight.

Underbelly fuse cover that close & secure the batteries tray lipo’s storage bay area.

Nose gear with door and Robart scale strut.

Well Mates,

the fuselage with Lepage application on rib’s and join’s as been final complet yesterday afternoon.

It was a long ron on that process, but it look very secure now and well done.

Mitchell Fuse
with Lepage rib’s & join’s application complet now:

Next is to secure,
with automative Goop glue all rib’s and join’s in there in the nacelles as well.
As it is wood & fiberglass in there this product is best for a strong bond.

Now,
about the powerplant system use. I have spoke to my mentor in scale making yesterday. We spoke about all options as I wanted to be shure with him for my best route with the Mitchell.

I will probably go with the Mitchell powerplant set-up that they sale with the B-25 from Horizon.

As it fly great and no major issues with those set-up and fly well and scale too with them on. Not any good reason to go any other way or route as it as made is proof in reliability and performance from the past.

Will be using a 3 blades prop’s for each electric motor’s engin’s with that powerplant set-up from Horizon

Should be doing my order purchase by this week …

Well here is what my scale master mentor buddy had to say about the 3 blader prop’s for the Mitchell that I want to use.

For the 3 blades in black the Master Airscrew are good.
You would need a 13x6x3 but they dont seem to have electric props in that size.

You might have to go 12x6x3 if using a glow version prop.
Lots of flyers just use the Glow version as they are light props.

Now,
back to the engin’s nacelles glue rib’s & join’s bond on the Mitchell …

Thanks hindenburg,

Now,
Time to have a look & choose my electric powerplant engin’s motors!

The BL46 outrunner electric motor,
are the engin’s that as been test & design for this model and are sold with the Mitchell if you wish to go electric powerplant. I will follow the same route as many did and have choose the BL46 for is reliability and quality that I am looking for in a twin aircraft like this one.

I have not decide what will be the ESC I will get yet. The 60A ESC is the one they sale with the 46BL but I mite just go for the 80A just to be shure and it depend on the Lipo’s batteries I will get to power that beast bomber. Will have a talk with my scale mentor Mate buddy by this week-end and will have the answer to that by next week and will then purchase order the best ESC and Lipo’s for it.

But the Lipo’s mite come later on the purchase order …
I have not made up my mind on what brand Lipo’s & size will be choosing.

Yesterday,

Did finish the front nose retractable gear bay door area section with Lepage glue and apply with a brush and the servo bay are located right behind the RG bay door area and as been done also.

All rib’s and join’s have been done and did apply small amount of Lepage glue in there just to be secure and with the brush it makes it easy to have a clean application to all specific area zone.

I will have to see about the nose gear attachment section. As I did read on many thread build that it would be good to re-enforce some parts in there as it seem weak at time from the factory and not anought secure holddown blocks in there for the retract’s to be well secure.

Again will have to see what will be add in there to make it more secure for the nose gear befort inplant the retractable gear in a soon future.

The fuse with Lepage glue application on rib’s and join’s continue !
