New B-2 Spirit
« Thread Started on Aug 7, 2009, 1:52am »

Gentlemen,

In the Spirit of experimenting with new aerodynamic shapes and extraordinary flying machines, yet maintaining scale, we are glad to bring you the B2 Spirit.

The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit (also known as the Stealth Bomber) is an American heavy bomber with "low observable" stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft defenses and deploy both conventional and nuclear weapons. .

The cost of each air vehicle averaged US$737 million in 1997 dollars. Total procurement costs averaged US$929 million per aircraft, which includes spare parts, equipment, retrofitting, and software support. The total program cost, which includes development, engineering and testing, averaged US$2.1 billion per aircraft (in 1997 dollars).

Twenty B-2s are operated by the United States Air Force. Though originally designed in the 1980s for Cold War operations scenarios, B-2s have been used in combat to drop bombs on Kosovo in the late 1990s, and see continued use during the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The crew of two aboard the bomber can drop up to 80 500 lb (230 kg) class JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or 16 2,400 lb (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs in a single pass through extremely dense anti-aircraft defenses. It has been the subject of espionage and counter-espionage activity. The bomber has been a prominent public spectacle at air shows since the 1990s.

This model B-2 is another example of excellent quality model produced by LX. After the introduction of the F-117, we were waiting for the B-2 with expectation. It did not dissapoint. In the spirit of scale models, this foam planes looks nothing like foam, it is dence and smooth. The painting and finishing is excellent with good detail. All decals are already applied.

The spectacular details included with this ARF are, scale bogey retracts with gear doors, working bomb bay, and functional rudderon (finless yaw control). The retracts and bomb bay are all preinstalled and rigged properly, on sampling the stock, the gears and bomb bay worked flawlessly the first time. Only slight end point adjustment was needed.

This plane has been successfully flown and the power system with twin 64mm edf is more than sufficient. The plane can loop and roll and flies clean with very low drag and good acceleration.

If you are looking for a plane that looks alien and captures imagination in an extraodinarily kind of way, this is the plane. Also if you are interested to decorate your home, game room or office space, again this is an exceptionally good candidate.

Gentlemen, the B-2 Spirit.
