Here's mine to add to the list. It started out as a 1/5 giant scale Top Flight ARC, but I converted it to a B model using the Leo Spychalla rear deck and his scale cowling. It also has the following:
- Tony Howard scale manifold kit
- Aerotech wheels and doors (inner and strut doors)
- Dynamic Scale cockpit kit (masters)
- ZDZ 80 RVJ with 26 x 10 or 24 x 14 prop
- 5.5 inch spinner
- custom Bisson muffler inside the fuse
- whole model is fibreglassed
- panel lines built into the primer
- inner wing structure reinforcements
- Aeroloft marking kit
- retractable tail wheel with doors
- JR 8611 and 8411 digital servos on the flight controls
- inner door sequencer
- JR gyro on the rudder
- aluminum colour paint is Krylon Metallic dull aluminum and scuffed with 0000 steel wool...looks amazing!
It has about 15 flights and flys very nicely with a great sound. I am very happy with it. Next is some weathering and adding some gun barrels.

I looked into it and it looks like a good deal but the wings do not appear to be fully sheeted. I know they look sheeted in those pictures but there are other pictures where you can see the ribs. It may be on another site so just a heads up.
Also the shipping was expensive. Those two things turned me off

Quick mustang question guys.
What have you used to glue down you're canopies?
I've used canopy glue heaps of times but recently lost my canopy on my TF GS P51. Wondering if I should try silicon next. I don't want to use screws as it tends to ruin the look.

The torque pro. Not bad at $600. Has 2 styles of valve covers, 2 lengths of stand offs and 2 intakes. Eases install.
Thanks on nuptials.
Oh on numbers ... I am #200. ... There was a list back in here somewhere. I would bet some of the lower numbers may not be active anymore for various reasons. Maybe it should just be the Brotherhood without numbers to keep up with?

last I checked numbers or no numbers...its all voluntary..... nobody is forcing anyone to take a number so why does this even need to be an issue? Can't we just let it go already sheeeeesh.

Been using Formula 560 with no problems. Little trick, use magnets to pull the canopy tight to frame, or anywhere else it needs to be held tight, but is difficult to get to with clamps. I was buying the 1/4 x3/4 magnets, but cant seem to find them for cheap anymore. Now I just use Hobby King magnets, and stack them up as needed. The more magnets stacked up, the tighter they pull together

Magnets sound like a good idea, but how do you get them inside and then remove them later after the glue dries? Lots of things in the way where the canopy goes in the Stang.

I used canopy glue have never lost a canopy yet. In fact as the plane aged the canopy started to crack and i wanted to replace the canopy it took me several hours to very slowly and carefully to remove the old canopy. When i glued on the new canopy the trick is to shake the glue bottle for a full minute then apply a bead of glue that is about the size about 3/16, the glue is suppose to dry crystal clear. Just test fit the canopy and do your best to visualize the contact of the canopy to the fuse and that is where you apply the glue. Good Luck.
