Default RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Bez88, I too am about to start the build of this kit, and what I did over the course of a few days was to read the entire 100 plus pages and I made a notebook of the areas of the build, and tips, that would help me. This note book is with the kit now for reference, and included the item noted, the page of the thread, and the post number, and saved the relevant pictures to a file on the computer. I did not note anything about servos in the wing, so I can't help you there. I have noted that weight is your enemy on this bird, as is not paying attention to wing tip washout and balance. If you get your build over 10 pounds, I don't think it will be the sweet bird you are hoping for. I will be replacing ALL of the wood in the kit, making my own formers, and trying to build at under 8 pounds. A gram scale with 200 gram capacity will be your friend during the build.
