    Yeah she likes to baloon once and while, glad your digging your plane, she looks good in the shots. Used the flaps today for the first time and made everything just right for the landings...thanks for all those tips!

    Saito and plane is running great on the 17x8 APC...someone suggested a 16x10...any more thoughts on that and what that would help?

    Thinking about getting 1/4 dowel covers already too...I see the marks by it's 8ths flight! Hey does anyone keep a regular log book on all their flights like real pilots and issues etc?

    Status: offline     		I've posted this link before but here it is again- a link to video of my original H9 P-51 with the MA 16x10 prop and 200Ti. The plane is faster with this prop but has a bit less raw vertical- I preferred it over the APC 17x8. I still don't have any video of the new 'Stang with the DZ, maybe sometime soon.

    Yes the dowels wear through fast, I sheathed mine with brass.

    Status: offline     		Walt...I can not get that to play on my computers for some reason...some kind of buffering issue on a MAC..it jams at 25%buffering, right after your take off...which looks great by ther way?

    I'll try that 16x10

    Does anyone ever use their flaps for takeoff?

    Status: offline     		Yeah to move the CG forward much you have to rake the gear forward a bit, even with struts. But it really does help a whole bunch. I fly off grass too, at least the prop doesn't get destroyed when it does nose over. The video is of my original plane before I worked out all of the quirks. The one I am flying now has the CG moved forward and it is a real baby to land.

    I never tried taking the Mustang off with flaps, but I use half flaps on my P-61 if the runway is short and it helps to get it in the air sooner. It has a heavy wing loading and eats up runway on takeoffs and landings. One of the good things about the H9 P-51 is that the wing loading is pretty low for a warbird.

    Status: offline     		Hi

    two more nice flights, flaps work great, everything is running great and rich...then my Saito 180 blew a push rod or something? the left rod system was getting stuck some how and there was no more compression...took the top of as recommend anyhow as in the manual for needed adjustment after breakin, worked fine, then it happened again...a pro at the field said something is busted deeper down inside and that I should send it back under warranty.

    I'm not happy about this...very limited time left in the flying season! Anybody else ever have problems such as this and dealt with warranty issues, Horizon I believe for Saito?

    Status: offline     		I have about ten flights on my P51 with Saito 180 and also have several other saitos but I have never had to send one back. I hear some people say they love Horizon for thier warranty service and heard others scream and yell at how bad they are, so I personnaly don't know. I wouldn't dissasemble the engine any or they won't honor the warranty.

    Status: offline     		Hey all,

    Thanks for all the great info on this thread. I completed a re-finished version two weeks ago. Power is a Moki 2.10 and she rips. Sounds awesome with a 20x8 APC, prop tips are screaming. Covers the field as fast as my Q500 Viper. I cannot say enough about this power combination if you can get your hands on a Moki. She floats almost like a trainer w/ full flaps on landing. This is my new "favorite" plane. Pics to follow.
