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

This is the totally complete fuselage interior. I relocated the receiver to below the cockpit. Used the black fiberglass tube they sent by mistake as an antenna tube. Note the Sierra air valve. Much sturdier and easier to adjust than the Robart valve. Note how I attached the quick disconnects for the air system in opposite directions. This allows you to connect the two ends together on the fuselage and wing when not flying to keep dust out of the system. I did make one mistake. I installed the right elevator and tailwheel steering servos backwards, directionwise. Doesn't seem to be a problem. I used two heavy duty MPI combination charge/on-off/indicator switches (have the little power indicator lights on them). I have a complete 12" of clearance between all radio gear and all engine gear. The entire setup came out quite well.
