Interesting... I've got a TF ARF that flys at 21 lbs. I've deadsticked it in several times with no problem and no damage. I thought it was gliding just fine.

I wonder why Robart hasn't figured this out and offered it as part of their gear package?

They do use some pretty soft wood...I guess for lightness? Or, they are building to a price point and buy the cheapest they can get. The P-51 is the least expensive 1/5 scale warbird TF sells.

It does seem like the ARF covering tends to get very wrinkled....I wonder what they use? I stripped off the original covering and recovered with a better film and I think it looks pretty good now.

I set the CG exactly as shown in the ARF manual. My plane flys "perfect". As much like a pattern plane as a warbird. Takeoff and landing are easy and smooth.

I bought an extra set of the cam blocks but found that my gear has the old round cam blocks rather than the square ones. I guess I need to buy a set of FW-190 blocks...they will fit the P-51 gear?
