That must be a Jack Stafford B-24.
A groundbreaking (all puns intended) design of the time.
Called for the Veco .19s, the best at the time.
If you want a 9-4 to do something,
Try a VECO .19 !!!!
Take care.
Have fun,

That's interesting Dave. I didn't have any history on who built the model. It was given to a friend of mine.. who in turn gave it to me. The original (?) owner had died.. and his wife gave it to my friend.. who has also passed away.

It must have had at least 6-8 servos.. (maybe more..) There was obviously Four (ganged) for the engines (the Vecos were the type that had the "wiper" over the exhaust with a linkage from the carb.) Then there were the ailerons, flaps, elevator, rudder(s), retracts... Shocked

There were gun turrets too.. but I don't know if they had linkages.

I still have one of the propellers.. which is a 10" X 6" 3-blade... which may have been more for scale-appearance.. than for flight-performance.
