RE: Top Flite '.60 size' Mustang ARF: about the same price as the H-9, but far better?

I agree Normand. The new mustang from TF is the best 60 size warbird arf I have seen. I also have the H9 Hellcat and the P40 and they are very nice buliding/flying warbird models. I had been looking...

Yah for real, I can't imagine stuffing a 150 in to that pretty cowl. Seems like there are those who like the idea that " If a little bit is good then a whole lot has to be a whole lot better!" LOL:)...

RE: hanger 9 p40

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' Mustang ARF: about the same price as the H-9, but far better?

Ok, I was just responding to some questions about using a Saito 150 and I just don't think that will work out too good. Get a 91 to 125 and save some cash and grief :) Now get some pics up of this...

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' Mustang ARF: about the same price as the H-9, but far better?

Yeah that's right, I forgot about the Saito 125:D and the YS would be a great choice also. Another option for pure speed might be to go with a brushless motor? Might make for a very clean install on...

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' Mustang ARF: about the same price as the H-9, but far better?

Ok, just trying to help and I will say that a Saito 150 is way too much engine for any 60 size warbird. I have a 150 in my 15lb. GP SuperStearman. It would be a real hack job to put that motor in the...
