RE: Gas Powered World Models P51 GS
Nitro2Burn, thanks for your interest.
Once I got a CG that I was comfortable with, the flight characteristics were very good. I made many pylon style turns and it had no snap out tendencies. Before I got the right CG,
It would snap out with just slightly high G turns. It would snap out on loops. Now it does not.
This Mustang was a challenge, but I was determined to find it's potential. I must say that I am disappointed with the power output of the PTE 36. By changing the prop to the
XOAR 18 X 10, I did get more speed. The engine sounds cool on a dive hearing the rpm get to the max. I only have around 2 gallons run thru it. It may just be one of those
engines that takes 4 to 5 gallons to break in completely.
Landings are now easy with or without flaps. The retracts are not stiff enough for the airplane. I check them after each landing to make sure they are not binding in the wheel wells.
