Mighty fine looking ship you've got there, FC.
No idea what I'll end up going with for mine.
There's a lot of building to be done, so I hope I can get some tips from those who have already been down this road

What engine/s would suit this beast?
I have a soft spot for that 4-stroke sound.
Ideally, I'd love one of those 3-cyl Kolm motors... but they're a bit out of my price-range just now.
Any suggestions?

They start at 100 and 135cc (twin inline), and go the 3-cyl inline at 150 and 200cc.
They sound amazing...

... which brings me to a question: what prop set-ups and motor combo's are people using in these things?
There seems to be a distinct choice between opting for the original reduction-drive set-up or direct drive.
And 2 or 4 blade configs.
I'd like to go 4-stroke just for the sound. Something like an multi-cylinder Kolm would be ideal, but a bit out of my price range atm.
And, of course, a 4-spoke prop would do the thing justice. I've only started reading about such rigs and I've come across 'Solo' props. Are they any good for the price? Or is there something a tad more affordable around regarding multi-blade propeller systems?

Thx TM.
So a direct drive with a modern donk should do the trick?
Still can't decide what powerplant to go for - I'd like something with a decent sound, and of course good reliable performance...

My Feedback: (101)
just to clarify, the 4 blade was not adjustable on the byro-drive and it was kind of underpowered. The blades would flex at full power. You could go wih a larger motor o turn a 4 blade but I am guessing i wouldnt fit fully, might have problems wih cooling etc. I seen i done with the TFGS P47 but there is room in he cowl.......

Byron P-51 Mustang
Elevator 1" up and 1" down
Aileron 1/2" up and 1/2" down
Rudder- "all you can get"....especially with the reduction drive installed.
The manual does not list flap travel. I use 15* and 30* on mine.
CG is 5 1/2" from leading edge of wing at the center section.

Direct drive on Byron P-51 Mustang
I see that the original Byrondrive has a lot of right angel on the motor/propeller.
I have a plan to change motor to direct drive 2 blade, But do I mont it in the same angle as the original Byron was?

Yes, rignt and down.
When I mount the new engine (MVVS 58) in the same angle as the original was it looks strange...
But the angle is also at the end of fuselange toward spinner, so its ment to be that way. The backplate of my spinner is exactly in the same angle.
