Wish I had a CNC for all the modifications I made for mine. I had a hellova time making my gear doors open and close with my retractable gear. I managed to apply 10 live missiles ( modified/painted pop bottle rockets). My mistake was not taking into account that the rockets couldn't get away from the plane fast enough or would come back to the plane. I had one strike the wing midflight just outside the left nacelle and did not completely take off the tip of the wing. It made one smooth barrel roll and with an epic THUD, smacked the ground. About eighty hours of work altogether but one awesome ending! Your model is incredibly sturdy and detailed. Wished I could have added some of the features yours has. Beautiful work. Took me back to memories of mine. Thanks for sharing!
I build from scratch. Make all plastic parts etc... Buy my balsa in timbers and mill it, but.......your work IS GORGEOUS. Proud to have a fellow woodworker in this universe. Excellent work. Your machine work is a site to behold.
The cowls, spinners are made from molds I made from plugs. The canopy iis vacuumed formed. Hope too upload a new video soon on that process. Subscribe and hit that heart and share. Thanks you
That is an amazing build with super craftsmanship. Sadly not many people have the talent and patience for such work. When I was little, the the P-40 was my favorite prop driven warbird. Then in my late teens I discovered the P-38 after reading a paperback where pilots were given new 38's to replace their worn-out 40's and the American ace went up and dueled with the Japanese ace in his Zero. I can't remember the name of the book but I really liked it and it changed my new favorite prop driven fighter to the legendary P-38 Lightning! After a little research I found the book, it's called The Last Dogfight by Martin Caiden. If you read it I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
I own some of the original XP-38 photographs taken during the buildup of the original aircraft taken just before the war. Incredible detail and extremely rare. You did an incredible job and I love the router you built. Fantastic
Was going to build this plane as the P-38 is my fav. WW2 fighter, but after building 3 40" ones and finding out how hard they are to fly I decided to build some other twin engine planes first. Then 15 yrs later and over 30 planes later I decided to redesign the plane because the original just does not fly very good without the counter-rotating engines. This I designed a look alike P-38 using 2 25cc gas engines out of weedeaters. Made many changes so that the plane would be a good everyday flyer. You can see the plane in my pic. That was her just 6 months ago after her 4th new set of engines. This plane has over 200 hours on her and still going strong. She's had only one misfortune in over 6 yrs of flying and that was me coming in short with my 3D stunt plane and landing on top of her . The damage was minimal and was fixed very easily. As this is the first time seeing your build I'm looking forward to seeing how she come out and how she flies. Look forward to a lot of questions about your plane from me.

@@@MikeJM-Fly-RC Thanks for the return on my reply and I've watch all of your vids now and thanks. Great looking plane so how many flights do you have on her now? Good luck with your new build.
@@leebenson4874 around 30, If your ever in the area I'll be at WATTS in Owatona Mn, then Northern Military Alliance fly-in, in Owatonna, then off to Fond du lac WISCONSIN for the military and classics over the Midwest, Akeny Iowa after that.
I'm working on detailing the cockpit and riveting. I will be painting all the control surfaces soon and then I will add another video. I hope to do a preliminary cg check soon. Need to build a Vanessa rig first.
How did you make the custom bubble canopy? I have a 63" foamie P-38L that I am adding an FPV setup to. The standard way of doing that is to cut out the plastic panels on the canopy and just leave the frame. Through an FPV camera you can't tell there's no "glass" there. But I would much rather replace the greenhouse stock canopy with a bubble canopy. I was just going to use clay to make the outside surface of the stock canopy smooth and then heat some plexiglass over it to form it. I need to find the perfect material though to make sure it's perfectly clear. Yours looks pretty freaking outstanding.
It's so fantastic to see a fellow builder in this age of ARF era we find ourselves in.building and drawing is a dying art.my father taught me from the age of 7 how to build.it started with Chuck gliders and then into full scale aircraft.I design and build my own aircraft.I draw them then build them.my father has now passed away but I will always cherish the knowledge he gave me.also at the age of 5 my father had me flying gliders.up until I was 13 my dad took me flying every weekend.I cherish those times now he is gone.I have just had the motivation to pick up a transmitter again.I am now back flying my planes and I am designing faster and faster aircraft electric and nitro.I hope more people would stop doing the one click hobby king special and build something for yourself.it doesn't have to be as complicated as what u see here.for example, I'm designing a very simple profile 3D fun fly I can take to the park and have some fun.it's not difficult to build it just takes a bit of effort and time.keep up the great work the P-38 looks great
An absolutely beautiful bird ! "A biased favorite" I must admit ! Great work, and craftsmanship ! Enjoyed the video, and looking forward to your next installment !
I was afraid to use gas engines since everything I've built is electric and lack of knowledge. I only recently got into gas with my Saito FG 90r radial for my Zero. Even so, I plan to use electric in my current twin motor warbird build. Electric is easy to contra-rotate but I had to buy custom props from Xoar.
I believe the designer was Nick Ziroli , an old friend of my uncle (Charlie Jensen). He used to go on and on about Nick and his designs. Anyway, really nice work on this. Your cnc worked great.
I don't have the skill to assemble a simple wood kit much less design a CNC machine to cut the parts from the plans I made. Quite a feat of workmanship.Looking forward to the rest of the videos.
Thank you very much. I'm in the middle. Of a middle of a De Haviland Mosquito build, going thru the same process. Build one is up. Build 2 should be up in a couple weeks. Please like, share, subscribe and smash that bell for future uploads.
Hello Mike, I really need to build a router yours, do you have a link to the plans please. what size is your router? do you have a part list for your router??? Please let me know. I am building some large airframes for a conservation group in Kenya to help prevent poaching. I could really make good use of your router design.what model and or number is your cnc table, head where did you get it?
Brad H I got my plans from Dave Gatton (Sidewinder CNC). He charges for them now, I think about 250 which includes some sort of short kit. And to answer your other question. I bought all my cowl and canopy from Ziroli plans. Also bought the scoops ans other plastic parts. Hope this helps. Brad.
I forgot to mention, I'm using a Performax 1 1/4 Compact router variable speed. Small powerful aand does everything I need for light hobby cutting 1/4" ply to balsa. Go here for plans: www.davegatton.com/
I recognise that music! My dad was RAF and when I was a child in the 50’s he sang a rude RAF ditty to that tune “might be somebodies mother” was one line.
i know this is far too late, but when cutting using cnc machines it's always best practice to cut the internal features of an element first and then cut the outline of the piece last. This avoids the piece shifting after its cut and then the internal features being cut in the wrong location relative to the entire piece itself.
There are a lot of short kits available on the market from many excellent cutters. I't would cost too much for me to do it. Also I'm in the middle of redrawing cutting my next project. Which I will have build videos for.
Bonjour / Hello, are you table to share the files in order to use it with a laser cutter (I hope it could works) thanks in advance. Beautiful work. Cordialy. Franck.
Thanks, it's been an adventure. I don't think I would ever have gotten it done if I wasn't retired. I can't even imagine how many hours I have into it.
You know, with those kind of skills, you could theoretically build a full sized version. And much akin to the DeHaviland Mosquito, as it would be assembled from wood and covered as you did your model, it would be smooth like the Mosquito and I would bet VERY fast. One can always dream.
Mosquito´s performance isnt that good, the thing was that when it got introduced, german heavy and air defence fighters where actually tactical bombers with guns and radars, the only real one was the bf110, and that thing was pretty old, 1940'german prototypes where already faster than the mosquito, not to mention, full metal and with radar too.
Funny you should mention that, it's all framed up. I started drawing one in November and started cutting in Dec, all framed up right now. I'll do a video soon
That's one lucky "pilot"! :) So sweet , this build! those flaps, landing gear and doors, etc. are so slick too! Gonna follow this build with enthusiasm! Thanks for posting it!
Hard to imagine that electric motors can provide enough power to make this P-38 airborne... ah, the advantages of technology. Had a friend a long time ago in Avalon on Catalina Island, Gregor Milne, used to fly P-38s when he was in the service. He told me these babies could do a straight up, vertical climb, they were that powerful.
Ok so I'm quite new to this entire community. But I don't see what the point of the circles in the pieces. Like is it for visual effect or is it actually helpful with the structure?
Nice airplane but the originals had radiators built into the tail booms. Why didn't you put them on yours? Except for the fact that your model is electric.
Insane!! Question , is the weight where you want it to be? It looks a tad heavy for the scale, what is the material? Your attention to detail is incredible!
What battery packs are you using? I have a 90 size P-51 Mustang that I have not built yet. Waiting to get retracts. I have about the same motor. The packs I have, I think are going to be too small. Love your retracts BTW :)

Hi There My name is Matthew I notice in your video on the P-38. You had cut out your on part on a cnc router. I have a cnc router and would like to build this plane as well. You be interested in sell your dxf file so I too can cut out all the parts.? And maybe any building tips that you learn along the way build the old p-38!!
It was my first warbird scale build and didn't know that at the time. Now after 2 years of flying her, I'm not going to add a sequencer. I appreciate your comments though.
Now that is art! My congratulations to the builder. I'd be nervous to fly it because it might crash. How many batteries and what voltage will it carry? Beautiful.
How in the world do you make a cnc router at home? I'd have at least coated the entire structure with carbon fiber or built the whole plane out of aluminium.
I'm working on Old Gillows P-38 Lockheed lighting, 38 inch wingspan. originally it was designed for rubber bands. Thinking about upgrading to CO2...... just because I can!!! Your project is very inspirational........ show me something else, show me something new. Thanks for sharing. = )
Lovely work all round. What CAD program did you re-do the drawings in? Have a set of plans for a much smaller model that I was going to use to make some molds. Any advice... lol (other than don't... :) )

My grandpa worked on these in WWII. Just passed away at 98 years old. He'd be immensely proud of this!
Wish I had a CNC for all the modifications I made for mine. I had a hellova time making my gear doors open and close with my retractable gear. I managed to apply 10 live missiles ( modified/painted pop bottle rockets). My mistake was not taking into account that the rockets couldn't get away from the plane fast enough or would come back to the plane. I had one strike the wing midflight just outside the left nacelle and did not completely take off the tip of the wing. It made one smooth barrel roll and with an epic THUD, smacked the ground. About eighty hours of work altogether but one awesome ending!
Your model is incredibly sturdy and detailed. Wished I could have added some of the features yours has. Beautiful work. Took me back to memories of mine. Thanks for sharing!
I loved the days of building from a kit. Now they market ARF's cheaper than a kit. I still love to build. Bravo!
Absolutely beautiful workmanship! Love watching it all come together. I had a Ziroli B25 years ago, they are a labor of love.
I build from scratch. Make all plastic parts etc... Buy my balsa in timbers and mill it, but.......your work IS GORGEOUS. Proud to have a fellow woodworker in this universe. Excellent work. Your machine work is a site to behold.

Question. What size/type cutter are you using to cut these parts? Is the balsa doable to 1/16th thin? Currently building my CNC router.
1/16" fishtail
I gather you can cut 1/16th balsa okay with this?
Mike where did you get the cowls and the canopy?
Fantastic work! Would you be able to share the cut files and the PDF drawings with me please
Would you sell or build another one? Or sell the formers and modified plans?
How are you holding the ply down while cutting? Didn't see any clamps... Is it held by vacuum?

Take a peak at build 2, 3 and the flight videos
Also currently building a De Haviland Mosquito.
Are your CNC plans available for purchase?
