P-51D Blue Nose 60 ARF By Hanger 9 Build, and Review
What I have
P-51D Blue Nose 60 ARF
-YS FZ-115-WS
-Spectrum AR9020 9CH DSMX X-Plus Reciver
Servos
-Spectrum A6180 x7
-Spectrum A7040 x2
General Parts
-Evolution 3-Wire Ignition Switch
-DUBRO #162 (Discontinued) The Final Filter x1-4
-DUBRO #340 In Line Fuel Filter
-DUBRO #334 Kwik-Fill Fueling Valve Glow (Planning to test with YS-63 motor to determine if it can hold pressurize) x2
-LiFeSource LiFe 2100Mah 2s 6.6V 10c Receiver Pack
Just began assembly of the aircraft today, began with hinging all of the control surfaces. as i started the tail i found that some of the pre-drilled holes where misaligned by a few CM. so far that has been the only problem. overall the kit quality seems good with no covering defects and no major damage to the aircraft in shipping. although a small segment of the wings was broken off before unboxing. although i can not fault Hanger 9 because it may have been caused by shipping.
I will Update and post pictures after every few steps of construction, as well as any new problems I encounter

Hinging Surfaces
Finished hinging all of the surfaces, the rudder seems to have been the only one with misaligned holes. although even with corrections more works needs to be done to prevent binding in one direction. so far 4/5 for kit quality.

Continued construction, after finishing and checking all hinge surfaces, even with re-drilling on the offset holes on the rudder itself it still binds in one direction. that however was caused by me being slightly off when re-drilling, but the problem only happened because it was drilled incorrectly in the first place. The aleron servos have been installed and mounted as per instructions, although the screws supplied seem insufficient. 3/5 Kit Quality - 4/5 hardware included

Continued building, so far i have not had many problems, getting the servos mounted to the plates and screwed in place is rather sad because the plywood they mount into fragments easily if not taken slowly.
