RE: 1/7 scale P-51 with YS Dingo, has it been done?
This isn't about a 170 Dingo or 1/7 scale Mustang but since there are a lot of YS knowledgeable warbird racers reading this thread, I have a question. My 110S reverses itself and starts running backwards at low idle. It is also very rich in the midrange. Idle to full throttle transition is good though. Should I go leaner on the low end screw, or go a little less pressure on the regulator? Trying to get this bird dialed in for the April race. Thanks. EC

Any updates on YS DZ powered racers? Speeds attained and plane size? CR, is that Rare Bear done?

I swear it's true! I land, roll out, bring it to a low idle and do a U turn to taxi back, then when I add power to begin the taxi the plane starts moving backwards! I did take it apart to straighten the prop shaft after a bad crash.

Resurrecting this 11 year old thread. I still have a YS 170DZ and want to know the if there are still any good 1/7 scale P-51's made to install it on? There was talk on this thread of a composite P-51 possibility, did anything ever come of that? I have a never assembled H9 Blue Nose, but from what I recall reading years ago, these are pretty fragile. Is WM done with 1/7 scale?
