Hello guys I am about to finish up my Don Smith P 51 Mustang for the season that’s already here! First let me start with a little history about this stang. I did not build this stang I bought it form a guy out in San Diego California for 250.00. He started the project but gave up. When I got it the fuse was half way started as the wing also. I had to re sheet most everything and reinforce a lot of it to my liking. I got the retracts from ultra precision in Canada They make very good retracts but they are not cheap. There is still a lot of work to be done and also I have not found a scheme I would like to go with as yet. I am also looking forward on using this medium to answer a lot of question I will have on scaling out this stang. Anyway here are a few pics.

Just some advise. Never use newspaper for your mask. The news print can stick to the plane and there are small holes in the paper that will allow over spray in. I would recomend the large black garbage bags for the job. I just cut them along the seams and then tape them inplace. also auto paint shops have masking paper in different widths with tape already applied on a roll. I use this for smaller jobs. Good luck on your new Mustang sir. Gary

Hello Gary you are right i will let my guy in Indy know this he's the one i had do the re sheeting and priming of this stang. Also it was a pleasure speaking with you at Toledo.I thought i was one of the biggest lover of the Tuskegee Airman But i am glad and proud to see you are.

Thanks Yardy, it was great meeting you also at Toledo. Your Mustang will be a great tribute to the Tuskegee airmen. I am just glad these brave Americans are receiving the honor and recognition they truly deserve.

Sure Bridog i will be going with 3 1/4 scale servos one on rudder and 2 on flaps four digitals 2 on elevator and 2 on ailerons 1 high speed on throttle and a mini on air. Now power plant will be decided on the final weight ,Don calls for a 5.8 but i don't think that will cut it. I have a 3w 80 in-line but Taurus just came out with a 102 inline i am looking at that very hard or the new zdz in line 120 blue heads. I have a few nosens stangs and they all came out around 27 to 32 lbs engines are 4.2 to 5.8 and they all fly just over scale. The don smith will be around 37 to 40 lbs depend how far i take her. I will be starting in a week or so i have a few more things i have to get before i can start. Good luck with yours and keep us posted. Yardy

coming over sunday i got ascheme for the hellcat ill bring the book nextweek
Hey Neville, if you don't mind my asking, what Hellcat are you building? I currently have a half completed Don Smith Hellcat on the bench. It's been languishing a bit while I wait for the landing gear to be completed. When I get to finishing it, I intend on doing a 'cat from VF-27. Probably Richard Stambook's aircraft. (It's #17 in the first picture below.) I also thought it would be cool to do a rendition of one that was based at NAS Floyd Bennett (second plane down in the second picture). Or even one of the bright orange drones based out of NAS Atlantic City... <sigh... too many choices>
Thanks!
Paul
