Well, I finally got my TF 1/5 scale P-51C "Dody" finished. Have 58 flights on her now. Flies great. Discovered it is much easier to land without bouncing by using full flaps. I probably have her a little nose heavy. Fliers at the Mattoon flying field can't believe how much I can slow her down without tip stalling. In fact, when I do a spin she will not drop a wing unless I force it. She just goes into a fully controllable mush. Received "Best of Show" at the "Warbirds Over the Corn" fly-in in Mattoon, IL.
Took her to the Mint Julep scale meet in Rosewood IN (by Louisville KY). Ended up in 3rd place in the Expert Division only 6 points out of 1st with 200 points being max score possible. Qualified for the US Scale Masters Championship contest in Sep.
Here's a video that Lynn Elston took with his smart phone on a flight at "Warbirds Over the Corn" in Mattoon, IL.

Thanks Chris. I am very pleased with my TF P-51C. It is a great flying airplane. Did you notice the youtube video link in my last post. Was at the "Warbirds Over the Corn" in Mattoon, IL. Did a lot of low level flying in the video. I didn't know Lynn was taking the video.

Nice, however, I don't think the prop on that Saito will work, Make sure it is not an Electric prop or it will snap. That looks like a 100 GK. Use a MAS 14x8 or 14x10 with that motor, plane will fly great with that setup. My 100 GK loves the mas 14x8 purrs like a kitten and roars like a lion, and will idle down to 400 rpm. I will need to video that when I get my plane back together.
It putts along for up to a minute after I hit the kill switch. Eventually the GP cools down enough for it to stop.

Thank you. That prop is a 14 x 8 Evolution for gas/glow, I personally have never had one fail. it isn't designed for electrics, as far as I know...which typically isn't very far. Can't wait to fly it, Keleo exhaust is on order. Sounds like the 14 x 8 with the 100 is what I'm looking for. Which pitch flew it faster for you, the 8 or the 10?

ISO P-51D Nose Art "Miss America" Hangar 9
Evening,
My H9 Miss America is nearing completion and I am looking for a high-rez, straight on square shot of the "Miss America" script for the nose. I'd like to make a vinyl sticker as the sticker sheet was not in the box. Image search hasn't been super helpful, any help is appreciated if you have one.
Thanks.

Ordered the electric Robarts for my TF giant mustang Friday morning from Tower. Due at my house MONDAY!!!! I cant wait to pull off the fixed gear. I installed the wiring when I put the wing together. So I got that going for me.
