RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build
Hello,
I recently purchased the Top Flite Giant Mustang at a swap meet complete with retracts and got a great deal. However, it is missing the control surfaces. I am lead to believe the only way to really get all the parts and get things built is to buy some plans, get the part numbers, and make the order. Does anybody have any plans that they would be willing to sell? I am needing to build the flaps, ailerons, elevators, and tail surfaces.
Also I am going to be removing the canopy so that I can detail the cockpit and add a pilot. I am also going to attempt a homemade sliding canopy. My plan is to buy some canopy rails and use some epoxy to glue aluminum to the canopy to form a frame. I don't really care to have the slider servo driven. I just want to be able to open and close it by hand. I was on the top flite website and the kit canopy is $33. The arf canopy is $7.50 on towerhobbies. Do you think there would be any difference in the two? Thanks,
Shannon
