NOW THIS IS A GIANT SCALE R/C B25

Well that has got to be bigger than 1/3 scale.

Interesting to know what the engines were. From a distance they almost sounded like real radials and for once with model aeroplanes the take off run and climb was so realistic. Even flying speed was more realistic.

1/3rd seems about right; the real B-25 had a height of 498 centimeters, so 1/3 would be 166 cm which looks about right for this model.
Very impressive size, I've seen a few 1/5 scale as there's a group here (Called 'Phantasy in blue') that modelled almost the entire Dutch air force history in that scale and those models are already pretty big!
 
Would have to be the Moki R400 Radials. Still underpowered. Full throttle was used the entire flight until last 50 ft of final approach. Flew like a fully loaded B-25. Beautiful job, tho'. Awesome model.

On a side note, the big 4 stroke multi cylinder engines can turn more scale like props on these large scale models because they turn at lower RPM and have gobs of torque, as opposed to the single cylinder, higher RPM engines as used in the big B-17 in the other thread.
 
For their next trick: A 1/3 scale B-36 teams up with a 1/3 scale Bristol Brabazon and a Douglas C-124 to create an artificial eclipse of the Sun. Special viewing glasses available at the refreshment booth...

I'd buy 1 to 3 scale also. The sounds of those engines were awesome! Excellent RC piloting on that B-25 also. He flew very smoothly and precisely. That's not easy to do. I don't think I could fly an RC aircraft because I'm too tuned in to flying them inside the cockpit.
