hello group, cool planes discussed and documented indeed!
i will post pictures of the plane I purchased and even further modified and plane to race with. i am new to all of this. i was hoping for gold class, but after seeing these planes and the aerodynamics, i do not stand a chance. oh well, silver class it is

world models p51 mustang. it is to resemble a reno racing plane from the 40's.
i got off of a guy in AZ and had it had a ys91. i took off the motor and replaced with 120. i got 3 of these motors off ebay and all were not good, sent them in to richard to fix. i did not know much about ys115 and thought 120 where the best , boy was i wrong. the cost to fix all of the motors stung a little- I should have bought 3 new - 115ws instead. oh well lesson learned.

wing is stock thickness, but shortened to 51", ailerons moved to wing ends. beefed up elevator push rods. the scoop was removed and therefore the fuselage has been modified. the tail wheel was moved to near the end of the fuselage. I did not do this and not preferred with this - and the tail wheel is not steerable. i will have to takeoff and land like a quicke. i tried to race in tucson but it was winded out, and I am glad I didnt (the 120s were still being fixed, so I stuck on the 91). I went over the plane again, put back on the 120 and I feel much better about trying to fly the pane and racing it. I am bummed I cannot make the SAMs races due to scheduling conflicts. I will give it a "college try" for the fresno race. i really have not flown the plane as I had a hard time getting the motors to run right. I will try to fly it this weekend in preparation to the phoenix race in a few weeks.

I am open to all feedback - the good and bad please. I am sure I have something wrong, i usually do. see you at the races!
