Status: offline 		There is another post on this plane which says that a 914S will be plenty but i took Dave's advise and went for a 120 4S. I am just waiting for a clear 2 day window to complete my plane. It isnt a long way off...next weekend maybe...i'll keep everyone posted..

Status: offline 		You guys may not be interested in electric conversions, but I just got both the WM and Hangar 9 .60 size P-51s in the mail today, and both will be AXI / LiPo driven. The Hangar 9 will be for training and the WM will be THE ONE. I have the Century Jet retracts that are made for the WM already. They aren't advertised on the CJ website, but they do have them and they look great. The Hangar 9 will be assembled first and is getting a set of Robart 606HDs before it's first flight. The only thing I need to know now is the weight of the of each plane without the engine so that I can select the right battery pack.

Even though its a little heavier, I like the WM primarily because of the flaps. Quantum Models has them for $250 free shipping.

If anyone is interested I'll be posting some pics over in the Electric Conversion forum along the way.

Status: offline 		Geach, very cool I am defintely interested in your conversions I will read them. And yep I am buying my Mustang from Quantum Models they always have treated me right. Mine is getting an OS 91 Surpass and I am installing my Supra mechanicals that are awesome retracts and will be fitting them with Robo Struts so I have nice smooth landings

Status: offline 		I just emailed Quantam Models and they told me they are out of the Mustangs but ordered them and they should be in around a week which means I will get mine in about two weeks. I am looking forward to getting my Mustang I have a choice between a Saito 91 or a OS 91 Surpass II anyone have an idea which would run better in the Mustang. I just need to order the correct Robo Struts now I am going to install my Supra Mechanicals they are smooth and made with an aluminum frame.
Thanks Viper

Status: offline 		Hi Dave, so you recommend I buy a 120 4 Stroke instead of my OS or Saito 91's that I have? I have other planes for the 91's I will just need to buy a new engine and a new retract servo. I am going to install my tried and true Supra Mechanical retracts made from aluminum. Best Mechanicals I have ever owned 10 years and never have folded on a landing yet I am going to install Robo Struts on the retracts do you know if I have to buy straight Robo Struts or can I use the more scale offset Robo Struts, Or if anyone else knows ? The offset struts would look better and I will be flying from pavement so they wont take a beating.
Thanks Joe

Status: offline 		I'm a big fan of the YS line. A YS 1.10 would be really nice............I'm cheap and I had this Saito already. I do like this engine a lot as well. I think the YS line is a bit faster, though.

Status: offline 		I hear ya Dave, I have other planes to outfit so I am installing my OS 91 in the P51 it should fly it well just not ballistic. I really dont want to pop for a new 120 right now because I need to buy a new engine for my TF P51 1/5 kit I am building soon.

Status: offline 		Ive had mine now for a week or two. I like the plane a lot...It went together pretty good. My covering had some wrinkles in it, but nothing that cant be taken out with a heat gun. I put a 91FX in mine. Im probably just going to use standard ball bearing servos in on all surfaces with a 6V battery. I saw one of the earlier posts had the fuel tank installed further back. As I was assembling my fuel tank lastnight, I had a similar idea. Just wondering what size tank that was and if there were any other considerations to installing the tank further back? Just like to get other opinions before I start glueing everything down.

Thanks,
Mike

Status: offline 		Guys, I am glad you like the P51 mine is due next week sometime. I still havent decided on which motor to run my Saito 91 or OS 91 Surpass II both are new in box? I am also trying to decide on the Century Jets Retracts or the Robarts with Robo Struts? Any suggestions on which gear?
I am also installing ball bearing servos.

Dave, thats real nice engine install, I think I may run my Saito and cut the muffler like you did is there a large difference in RPMs and power now?

Mike, I am also considering using a Perry Pump as well so I may move back my fuel tank as well I wont know for sure till I get my airplane.

Thanks Viper

Status: offline 		Cruz, I will post some pictures as soon as my plane gets here hopefully sometime next week but Quantum didn't have it yet when I called yesterday so I may not see it until next week. I am thinking about getting an inverted pitts muffler but I dont want to restrict the engine I am not sure which one to get?
I am getting the CJM gear for it on Monday its the simplest way to go as I get air retracts and struts and I already have a Robart adjustable air valve so I will use it. It should be a nice plane that gives me something to fly while I build my 1/5 TF P51D Kit its getting a gas engine yet to be determined? I want one that allows the least amount of cutting of the glass cowl I have for the plane.

Status: offline 		I bought mine from Airborne Models...had it on my doorstep in 4 days. They are on the internet so you shouldnt have a hard time finding them.

I flew it for the first time today. The control throws are WAY to much. Luckily I set my low rates at half the recommended amount and it worked out good. It flys well once its all trimmed. My flight was only about 5 minutes long though. My new 91 FX died inflight...first landing was a deadstick. Seemed to land nicely. Still in one piece and ready to fly next week!
