20’ RC B-29 bomber restoration project

Some other things we are looking to get rid.

All are located within a few hours of Washington DC

Extreme Flight Peregrinne (the small one) Tmotor combo no damage, Rx ready. $1,000

Bryan Taylor 1/4 Se5a. Almost ready to fly, nicely detailed $1,000

Sig Kougar converted to 6s electric setup (make an offer)

Rotormast V22 Osprey complete w/ twisted blades, scale body, retract upgrade- $1800

1/3 Hall Bulldog scratch build. Its basically ready for fiberglassing and paint after some minor hangar rash repairs- $1400

Scale Jets 1/5 F-16. This was a flying jet and was stripped for repaint by the previous owner. Its complete, systems wise, with all Jr 8911 servo’s. I’d say its receiver and turbine ready after being repainted. Those who know this kit know how expensive it is, so i’ll leave the price on this as to make a reasonable REALISTCI offer….. but if its unrealistic, i will respond with an “LOL …. No” response. Lol

Everything is obviously OBO, life changes necessitate the need to move some of this stuff, ideally, but that doesnt mean i am going to give it away.

More pre-spring spring cleaning.

Everything is make an offer. If it doesnt sell, it’ll get throw away.

02/03/2026

More stuff for sale, my HO229 molds are part of that group.

This model is a 150% enlargement of the Wings Over the Web kit.

Included is a full set of molds, center fuselage templates, CAD files for the outer wing panel internal structure and a vacuum form tooling for the clear canopy.

The center fuselage mold has had five parts pulled with tons of life left.
The outer wing panel molds have had two sets of parts pulled and due to some new products i used, there is some chipping along the leading edges in spots. They still have plenty of life left once repaired. Repairs could be made for additional $$’s

I’ll start at $3500 for everything i have for this, but i am open to offers.

These are molds, templates and cad files ONLY. No actual parts are included.

02/01/2026

Next up for sale.

New in box Full Ziroli P-61 Black Widow kit. This is a very nicely cut Chuck Gill “Aeroplane Works” kit. It includes all of the shaped parts from the plans, including the ones that the other kit cutters do not include. You’ll not find a nicer quality kit of this model.

Also included are the fiberglass nose cone, clear canopies and all of the vacuum formed plastic pieces (oil cooler inlets, gear door bulges, turrets, etc. the only thing is a full set of plans (i have a partial set that are useable to build the model on) and the cowls.

A new set of Robart retracts AND a set of never used (but mounted) Likes Line Electric retracts with wheels. Pick which set of gear you want and sell the other set to recoup some of the cost.

Asking $2400 + shipping for these extremely hard to find items. Or your choice of gear for $1800.

Another is what is affectionately called.

“The Bev”.

This 15’ wingspan behemoths is one of the most docile and fun to fly airplanes we have ever had. If you like touch n go’s and weird airplanes, The Bev is what you need!

She is all electric and flies off of four 5s, 5000 lipos (6s works as well). She has new 80amp esc’s all hitec servo’s, custom landing gear and an igryo for that locked in feeling.

It breaks down into a four piece wing, the entire tail comes off from the tail boom, which also comes free from the main fuselage. She will easily fit in a mid size SUV.

She’s not the prettiest, but she is a blast to fly.

We have way more into this one than makes sense, but we’d like to see $2500 for her in Rx and lipo ready condition, but are open to offers.

Again, we can meet almost anywhere between NYC, Washington DC and Greenville, SC.

If you Are interested, let us know, we may even be able to ship this one.

Another item we are looking to move.

Vario Cobra helicopter.

It was a flying helicopter a few years back and has been sitting. Its complete with Benzin gasser mechanics and could be back flying as a gasser fairly easily. Or do what we plannes to do and convert it to electric and flybarless.

Vario is synonmous with high quality helicopters and to buy just the fuselage and all of the mechanics, you would be around $6,000 for all the parts.

We are looking for $2,000 for this one and and we could meet almost anywhere between NYC, Washington DC and Greenville, SCZ

01/20/2026

Spring cleaning time is beginning and lots of projects and stuff are going to be listed for same.

First up.

This is a 40% scale Cessna U-3B “blue canoe” (military 310). Designed and built by the late Merlyn Graves. Ive made some changes over the years to improve on it and it has turned into an amazingly well flying airplane. Single engine performance is outstanding in that i have flown it for 5+ minutes while doing aerobatics on a single engine. It is scale powered and has no bad habits with a basically non-existent stall. The stall characteristic is basically a wings level descent when full up elevator is held, due to this, it basically wont spin. I describe it as flying a big floaty cub with an extra engine.

Specifics:
Twin DA-100L’s
Mejzlik 27x10th props
Hitec 7955TG servo’s on all control surfaces and nose wheel steering (eight in total)
ProModeler DS130’s on throttles
Jeti Model Optio isolated RC ignitin switches
Hitec 425 servo’s on gear/door air valves
JMP “hi-flow” gear valve with 4mm barbs w/ four large Robart tanks
5/32” hi-flow air system on retracts
Custom retracts
Two Premier Pilots 2/3 pilot busts
Scale instrument panel
Braincube lighting system
Jeti CB200 w/ three R3 rx’s
2- 2S life packs for rx and 2 for ignition
3s lipo for lighting

Roughly 36 flights on the model.

166” span, 144” length (approx), 80” Horizontal stab span. Removeable tail (two horizontal stabs, one vertical stab) wings outboard of the nacelles remove, wingtip tanks remove. Includes wings bags. Wing center section between and including the nacelles is one piece and removes from fuselage with four bolts. Its relatively manageable for transportation.

Airplane is a 8/10 cosmetically with typical hanger rash.

The U3B will be sold with a NEW DS-12 from Jeti-model for $8500
Or
$8000 for the airplane in a Jeti BNF condition (no TX)
Or
$7000 RX ready

Or make an offer. Will consider trades for turbine jets, turboprops, radial engines, large warbirds, scale helicopters or unique models

Delivery is available within a reasonable distance can be negotiated.

Hi Folks. Tune tonight to Custom RC channel tonight as the guys and Legend Hobby give away a 71” P-51 or a 70” P-47 (your choice).

ITS GIVEAWAY TIME!! Come join myself and Fitz Walker from Hobby View for some great fun as we’ll be giving away a beautiful kit from Hobby, along wit...

Hi folks, we are still alive. Its amazing how quick time has gone by this year. Unfortunately the year didnt go we had planned and hoped, as i am sure yall have noticed. This year was pretty rough for us. We had two complete write off’s, one midaire… that was between my son and I, which meant buying replacement parts for two airplanes, one damaged airplane and a write off of our prototype T-38 airframe, which honestly could be repaired, but its already overweight so its a good time to build the 2nd prototype.
All that was only the hobby related stuff, life’s curveballs are always entertaining in a way, between unexpected vehicle repairs, having to replace our home AC system and a myriad of small health issues within the family, nothing that we wanted to do ended up happening.
That said, its now winter time which means winter maintenance and upgrades. The X1 has been very close to done for a few months now, so we are going to get its drop pylon mounted to the B29 and finish up the X1. We also plan to make up a few spares, just in case. We’ll also work on getting the Douglas SkyRocket project moving along as well. The 3D printed molds we have been using for some low-volume parts works amazing well and has changed how we do some of these things.

So, we arent gone and hopefully next year will go better than this year. We are already working on a list of events to attend… hopefully….

So, stay tuned for more posts and video’s on the happenings of the B29.
