Im happy to tell everyone I have located an MDS .28 carb and will have it soon. This means that the wounded B-17 engine will be repaired and hopefully back in service this upcoming spring. I thought I was going to have to replace all 4 engines since I couldnt locate a replacement carb but thanks to the internet and Rc Universe I have found one in Florida.......
B-17 repairs are complete......engines are oiled and plane has been put away until spring when it will get a good run up to check engine(s)out and then a test flight.
