I do appreciate it. Support of all the pics you guys have posted on this aircraft really helped alot. Just wanted to thank you guys for all the help by posting these pics. As far as the run on the engine, well thats up to the owner because I was on a schedule. Im looking at gettin in to designing new hardware for rc aircraft so if you guys have any ideas on control horns mufflers or anything send me your ideas and I will try to make them a reality. As far as the aircraft its know in Houston, Texas. Know comes the bearcat.
I have ZDZ 80 and P-51 , as for the standred muffler for the ZDZ which got an angle after the header , if there is no angle and the header go streat to the muffler in that case there will be no need to make extra openeings for the muffler in the fuselage , if you dont know what i am talking about let me know and i will send you some pics.
shes nearly 9 years old and still going strong , meister p51 mustang the sport one 90" i recently bought her and im looking to have it repainted in same colour schem to freshen her up

Yep! I saw it there today. It's kind of pricey...but I'm sure it is worth it. I am building a ZiroliMustang presently, and it will be way less than $9000.00 when it's done. I have used a few ideas from that plane to incorporate for my own. It really is a beautiful aircraft. Quality of build is obviuos when you see it up close and personal. Best of luck to whomever ends up with it.

Here's some shots of Joe's bird. The DA 85 will get it's final portion of mounting tonight. Used a plywood box vs. the standoffs w/out an extension. Still seems like it's gonna fit quite nicely in there from the inspection of where it will be at on the mount box. Finish is Modelmaster chrome, aluminum, steel, chrome-silver, and some silver for all the different panels and such. Gear were swapped from CJ's to Sierra's for a huge improvement. The bird had a paint job that didn't really do the plane justice. Moonbeam is way better. Still the cockpit and some odds and ends to go.
Very nice job , please let me know how did you paint this Metal Chrome , i mean what did yu use , as for the writing on the side of the fuslage did you use sticker or is it a paint also , i mean the small writing in black
