Status: offline 		I just ordered the P-51D 60 with 67" wingspan rated for a 60 to 75 2stroke and a 90 four banger. I cannot get glow gas where I live as it is considered a haz and our fly in shipping wont ship it so I thought I would order the Super Tiger BME 90 that runs on pump gas. Would this combo work in this plane? Thanks alot! Skip

Status: offline 		I have a Giles 202 50, a Long EZ 46 and an Extra 330L. I used all the provided hardware for the Giles 202 and everything looked to be of decent quality. The other airplanes are not yet assembled but I plan on using the provided hardware. Overall quality of kits seems to be pretty good but not equal from kit to kit. The only thing I replaced on the Giles 202 are the wheels. I used Robart scale wheels of a bigger size because they look better, I already had them and most importantly I fly on a grass runway. I will do the same n the Long EZ and I will had a retractable nose gear to make it look more scale in the air.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the info! The only problem with their web site was the lack of information on the kit and the hardware included. I really don't know what to order to complete the kit until I get it. Some of the other sites Tower in particular give a great list of what is needed to complete the kit. Again, Thanks! Skip

Status: offline 		Another Question with the P51 with retracts would be how many and what kind off servo extentions. I think the P51 has a seperate servo for each AIL and I am assuming one servo for the retracts. I am trying to get an order together to get the rest of the stuff. Thank Skip

Status: offline 		Hi there Skip. just thought I'd let you know that the manual for the
Hangar 9 P-51 is a better and much more detailed manual than the one that comes with the Nitro Models P-51.
If you search for the Hangar 9, you should find it. The aircraft are almost identical.

Hope this is helpful to you,
regards, Chris

Status: offline 		I ordered the Super Chipmunk from Nitro Models and will be the last plane I order from them. I know i saved a little money ordering from them about 20.00 at the most. First time order for me and not only was the manuel very difficult to make out, but alot of the bolts were to short for what they were intended and ended up having to buy longer bolts. There was alot of stuff that had not a experienced builder lived next door I would not have figured out. Being as this was the first plane to build myself. Some of the places where blind nuts were to be places were not even in the manuel at all. The servo rods are held together with shrink wrap very cheesy for todays models. I ended up mounting my battery as far back in the fuselage as i could possibly reach. The landing gear has very small slits in the wing and a hole nothing in the hole for anykind of bracing at all. Just a hole in the wing. First and very smooth landing the landing gear folded. Nitro should be able to send at least a descent manuel with the planes and bolts that fit where they are supposed to. I read the manuel about 10 times before I started and went over and measured each and every bolt. The bolts you have to drill yourself to hold the wings on were not even in the manuel. Like many folks have told me you get what you pay for. I am building a Sundowner hanger 9 and it is a dream to build. So if your new or want a good model to build don't waste your time with the NITRO MODELS. The real ones are alot better builds and only about 5-10 bucks higher and if you become members of there buying clubs shipping is free. You can't get parts either or have not been able to so far. Buy US besides if they are not making money or have to recall any of there stuff the people in charge might have to commit Harry Carry. (kill themselves for the disgrace) and you wouldn;t want that on you would you lol.

Status: offline 		My Man, I feel your pain, BUT, you said it yourself....you get what you pay for! There is no such thing as "it's to good to be true." When I ordered from Nitro I knew a 60 sized ARF shouldn't cost $119.00 bucks. But, hey, for that kind of money I got lots of extra bolts, balsa, and time, to modify, strengthen, and make it work. I disagree with you on the 5 to 10 bucks more. The same P-51 that I got from Nitro costs about $125.00 more from Hanger 9. That $125.00 bucks bought me a Super Tigre .75 from Tower. I agree the directions stink, well they are beyond stink, especially for a new builder. My advice is to look up a comparable plane and download their instructions. I did that for the Hanger 9 P-51, which is almost the same plane. The packaging was terrible which resulted in my wings being damaged, but the guy at Nitro said he'd send new wings so in the mean time I am going to figure out a way to try and fix the ones I got. I hear what your saying but at the same time I couldn't buy a Top Flight Kit for what I got in this plane. For that matter I couldn't buy the materials for a scratchbuild either.
My problem with these types of sellers are not the models BUT the adds. These cheap ARF's ARE NOT ARF'S. They are semi built kits with lousey directions and no extra materials to rebuild certain parts. A new builder looks at the pictures on the web site and says WOW, then opens the box and has a heart attack.
Will I buy another NITRO product, you bet! But at the same time I know what I'm getting! And what I'm going to have to do after the product arrives. I'm not runnin ya down by any stretch I'm just saying the old saying ALWAYS holds true. Ya get what ya pay for! Skip
