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

We'll I'm finished. I decided not to do the guns now. If she survives a few flights then I will add them later. The gear doors came out better than I imagined. I fiberglassed one side of balsa, warped to shape the wing, rigged, paintedand bam, done. They pull in nice and tight. I'm using an OS 65AX with a 14x6 prop (largest it will take), century jet retracts with steerable/retractable tail wheel, covered with monokote, painted the invasion stripes with luster kote, and the grapics done by Callie Graphics. It weighed in at exactly ten pounds. Nothing left except to maiden her. Waiting on the next nice day!
