Default RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

ORIGINAL: Valve floater

Hi. I just picked up a used Mustang TF with a DLE-55. Big Doll. It has Robart air retracts. The tail wheel also.The tank is empty so both mains are out. But why is the tail wheel not out in the landing position when there is no air in the system? Will i have to land if i run out of air on the rudder? Also, i have two 22-8 WW11 props from VV. Can i fly it using this prop. Will it not fly with it or do i have to have the 22-10? Thanks
A22-8 or 22-10 and a 23-8 will work great on that engine the 22-8 is very popular. Good RPM range is 6500 to 8500, engine is rated to 9500 but for engine life don't run it up there. That is a good engine, it's whats in mine.

What happens when 3000 posts are reached, you get shut down and then what ?.
