RE: P-40 Brotherhood (All P-40's Welcome)
Chad,
Can you give me some first flight tips on the TF 1/7 scale P-40?
I have been told if I apply the same methods to the TF as I did the Byron I should be okay. It would have been nice if TF would have incorporated the Celik airfoil design into this wing as they did so many of their other models.
I understand their 1/7 P-51 also lacks the Celik design.
I friend and I were out this past week putting some first runs on his 1/7 TF P-51 and during a high altitude approach to landing test, the plane without any warning dropped the right wing and entered a tightly wound up spin. I have seen aerobatic planes need forcing into the spin this bird went into, so caution is needed when operating this plane, and apparently the P-40 too.
This P-51 is powered by a DLE-20 and weights in at 11 pounds.
