thanks for all of the helpful input. To update the situation, i think i may have lucked out in thatthe owner of the shop that sold me the p51had another plane, a low wing sport trainer, that he was selling that he offered me on the cheap as a sort of package offer. Its a fuel and go deal, slightly used, already assembled with servos, receiver, etc. installed. For $100, i figure it wouldnt hurt to give it a go. Cant tell who the manufacturer is... anyone have an idea? Thoughts? I think ilike the idea because its a low wing design and although not the weight or dimension of the larger warbird, it will share some of the same characteristics.
