RE: World models 80 inch p51 engine advice
Thanks for that info Ed, that helps a ton.
We have some CG work to do, but also some engine tuning to do. The DLE 30 was running pretty rich still.
Once we have those issues worked out I would like to spend some time really trimming out the airplane, working on setup, and breaking in the engine. Once I have some time on it and we are both very comfortable that it's consistent then I would like to get the buddy box out and start transition training. CV580 is a good pilot and won't have any problems flying the airplane, just need to get it handling correctly and some experience and he will be good to go. I suspect he will really enjoy this model.
