Giant P-51 arf
I'm looking to buy a GS P-51 arf. My favorite is the Composite arf model but my budget limits me to pick between the World Models, H9 & Top Flight . Please help me make my choice.

RE: Giant P-51 arf
I think you can't go wrong with any of them.
I have 2 GS World P-51's, Springair 404's bolt right in with little work, Robart retract tail wheel is a easy install.
Both are powered by Saito 180's, one has a full cockpit with a "Doc Miller" pilot from Blue Box Toy's along with Frank Tiano drop tanks.
A friend has the big H-9 with the same engine and it fly's great.
Another friend has the GS Top Flite, stripped it, bought a "B" model conversion kit from Top Flite and installed a OS 160.
I just read where Top Flits is offering the GS P-51 in "ARC" form.
Email me for pictures.
Good luck,
Chuck

RE: Giant P-51 arf
Thanks guys
It looks like I'm going for the WM. The size is between the H9 & TF , the two piece wing makes it easy to transport and all its reviews are positive. The only thing that concerns me is the built in retracts so I"ll have to see which air retracts will fit best.
Carlos , the Saito 180 is a fantastic engine but are you sure its enough. I love 4stroke but I was thinking maybe a Moki 2.1 or a 50cc gasser will do a better job???
