Default RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

Manfred, I too looked at the Revolution. but a couple of issues. They are "developing" a special muffler that will fit in the P-51. Second, when a new product is not actually on the shelf; only god knows when it will actually be available. Could be months before the Revolution is actually buyable.

The Muffler on my DA50 is a Slimline. They are right up the road from Desert Aircraft. You can get the muffler from Desert aircraft or Slimline, direct. Not cheap, about $99. Slimline makes good, but expensive stuff. I would also check with Bisson Custom Mufflers, they may have one too, and cheaper. Nothing wrong with the Slimline. It fits great.

It's depressing to have a half built plane just sitting waiting for parts. Somebody really dropped the ball on this retract situation.
