FLIGHT REVIEW -- VQ Warbirds B-24 Liberator 110" Wingspan ARF (The RC Geek)

- At long last, here is my flight review for the VQ Warbirds B-24 Liberator 110" Wingspan ARF. This is such a cool model and a really nicely built and finished ARF kit that fits together really well. The airplane presents beautifully in the air and maneuvers much like the full size. It'll even roll if you coax it right. ;) My full assembly and flight reviews are available at thercgeek.com/VQB24

Awesome plane Chris. Great review and great flying too.
What a 'graceful' flying big bird (if a B-24 can be graceful). The weight helps it groove and the barrel roll was very nice. Great airplane, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 😊. I love flying this bird, looks so cook in the air. 😊
Gorgeous
Awesome looking liberator
Love the big war Birds.
Me too! 😊
Magnifique 🤩
Love thisChris! I had the honor of spending time on a few occasions visiting with my ex wife's uncle who lived in Palos Verdes Estates,then Oceanside and the last visit was Escondido.He flew B-24's I'n WW ll.and retired as Lt.Col. Went on to be head of flight ops at McDonnell Douglas Long Beach.His name was David Clark and was one of the nicest men I have had the pleasure of ever knowing,had some awesome stories of flying The B-24,also had time in B-17's and B29's.Thanks man!
Wow, that’s really cool! Thank you for sharing that. How’s the recovery going?
Beautiful plane and awesome flight
Thank you! 😊
You're very welcome. Eagerly looking forward to the next video and the day when I can fly like that !😃
Wow! Nice touch and go followed by a beautiful landing! 10:22
Thank you! 😊
Fantastic plane, brill review, brill flying 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Wow. 26lbs. Flys it well. Loved the RMG for the guns. Nicely done.
Thank you! I really love how this liberator flies.
Nice!!!
Fantastic nice bomber, then you have started to use the metric system when showing the various rudder measurements! That's a huge progress :) ;)
Chris. Great looking model you have there. Looks like it took a lot of TLC to put it together. Love them big warbirds Bud. Too bad you on the west coast. We have a big event called Joe Nall here in the east. Lot of folks like you come with these type warbirds. You would love it. Thanks for sharing. 👊😎
Thank you! I’m aware of Joe Nall. 😊. Does look like a good time, but yeah definitely a long trek for me to get there. Especially if I had any visions of bringing an airplane.
Omg I thought you were gonna ride the damn plane full size
*DAMN*
Wow!!!!!!!
Would love to see a follow up on bomb doors
Wow Chris, the "working" detail is awesome! Rotating guns, Bombay doors. What else?😉 It flies pretty fast. How many 4s batteries? It's amazing! Great work on this old bird!! AirHammer, out!!
Thanks! I’m running 4x 4s 4300s. Lots of batteries in this bird, haha!
👍👍👍
Chris thanks for asking,I am doing super,been 4 weeks since stroke,going from total paralysis from the start to walking by myself with a small walker type cane,and my left arm and hand doing some amazing things,should be home in a week or two at most,will be flying by end of July.I am very persistent and hard working at physical therapy,just like I was during my career as a licensed A and p mechanic in Wichita.I was one of the best. And received my share of accolades from customers and upper management.Very cool to have customers tell my service managers if Don doesn't work on my aircraft nobody else touches it,pissed some of my bosses off but pres of company loved me for some reason,I flew on more test hops to set up fuel control computers than all the other mechs in the shop for years.I set goals and usually achieve them.A new goal is to come back to southern Cal. And fly with inthetube deep from La Jolla and to hopefully meet and fly with you!
I’m really glad to hear that Don!
Looks like she flies nice. Need to get those same props for mine. I will be using four Saitos, though...it just ain't the same when it's that quiet!
Should sound awesome with them 4 strokes!
@@Thercgeek Oh I know it will! The aircraft and engines are here now, props on order. Think my first step will be getting the engines broke in so that when I have the aircraft built they're ready to go. Impressed with how simple the build seems to be thumbing through the manual too.
I think I will go with the turret automator you used on mine, too. Gonna set it up for dropping stuff...would love to have six tinywhoops in the bomb bays that I air launch. would be amazing to do at something like FPVFest(Which I hope to have this thing flying in time for; Edgewater Airpark will hear the howl of four Saitos at full song if I have any say in the matter!)
Do you happen to have a list of the extension and Y harnesses you had to use?
I don’t have a specific list of the extensions I used as I just have a selection of that stuff on hand and also make my own too. You might look through my assembly article. Thercgeek.com/VQb24
Nice to see a model of a plane from the 486th BG!
The Zodiacs squadron was such a cool idea and I love the nose art that Phil Brinkman created.
@@Thercgeek I posted your link on the 486th BG Facebook page.
Oh cool, thank you!
@@Thercgeek facebook.com/groups/486th/
Fantastic effort with the build, Chris. The random motion of gun turrets was a great idea Curious do you get butterflies before a maiden flight on a bird that you put so much time & love into?
I do a little bit for sure. Usually, once the airplane breaks ground that goes away. The scale airplanes I’ve been working for years are even more nerve wrecking. 😊
I get them when I'm re-maidening a $100 junk bin special from my LHS lol.
Well done! Any thought of onboard sound?
I have thought about it. Space is pretty limited, but would be pretty cool. When I finally get to the bomb bay doors, I’ll look into that also.
is that thing big enough to fit 4 4stroke nitro engines in the cowlings without too much mutliation? it would probably sound awesome with 4 engines droning
The cowls aren’t super big, so definitely would require some cutting. But, they’re oval in cross-section which helps when mounting them sideways.
Do you need counter rotating props?
Nope, not at all. All 4 motors on the model are spinning the same direction.
Just ordered 4 ignition conversion from Morris Mini Motors... and getting ready to start breaking in 4 saitos on a Sig 4 Star. I get electric... but I just can't do it for this one.
That’s fair. Options are the beauty of the hobby.
Awesome plane and awesome flying. What flying field is that and where is it?
Thank you! This is at the Miramar rc flyers field in San Diego.
@@Thercgeek cool thanks
Do you know how much the full build cost?
