You have a gift there...really nice builds. That looks realistic...I have the Prop action Lancaster, Raiden and a few others that I can`t recall...any trouble installing the motor/wiring?

Awesome job on the Skyraider!!  Bow Down  I'm going to start working on the Ki-84 "Frank" prop-action this weekend.

From what I've read about it the engine is kinda weak so I went to Radio Shack and bought another one.  It only cost < $4.  I've got the wire and connectors from other projects.  I'm using it as what I call a "proof of concept" model to see if I can do something that advanced.  If all works well I'm going to build a Tu-4 and ultimately a Bear-H like the one in this month's FSM.

I'm an armor guy so any advice any of you guys can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I love it! I wonder if they sell just the motor.

I'd love to add that motor to my non-prop action skyraider that is waiting to be built.

Real nice, and nice pictures, too.  But I bet your wife thinks you should have mowed that grass first!
