RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build
It's flying season, so my build is on the back burner for now, and now that I did a little Oh S*** with my Dewey, I have repairs to do on that one, so even less time to work on the Stang. The engine that will go in it runs OK, but I only have half a tank through it and it still needs some tuning before I can put it in the Stang. I think I will bench run it though, the DLE20 is too strong for the Deweyville. I think having it on that plane contributed to the failure today. I had the pushrod for the rudder come apart in the air, and I lost all rudder control, in fact it tended to move opposite of aileron which made it extremely hard to level off, and since I didn't have enough altitude to sort it out, nosed it into the field. So that's what will be worked on, until the days get shorter, the stang will be shelved.
