Default RE: ESM P-51 Build thread

ORIGINAL: oldtimer4759

Hi,
I have the ESM P-51 B model, the wings are fully sheeted on top, but only back to the Main Spar underneath, then covering, anyone building these kits dont take any notice of the book CofG, it is WRONG. it should be 130mm MAX back from the centre line of the wing, 120 would be better, also tilt the undercarriage right forward, for better ground handling.
it will fly well with a 26cc gas engine, (I have the RCG 26 in mine) but a 30 would be a lot better.
Oldtimer.
OT,
I was thinking of picking up one of the new 36cc rear exaust motors for one, bet it would be an awesome combo and fit real well in the stang..
