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

Guys,how can you take a beautiful plane like this and butcher the cowls like that?
ICK.
Anyways, the planes look great,those wheels look exactly like robart scale allum ones,they range in 1/4 " increments 4" to 6" I believe, $90 a pair,sheldons might even be less.
As for the mokis,I know there messy,but you cannot beat the power to weight.
Once a moki is broken in (yes that part is a pain), it is far and away the best engine I have to start.I wish my gassers started so well.
Fill it up, prime ,and hand bounce the spinner backwards to compression,starts first time ,every time.
If you use store bought fuel, it can get pricey,but since moki's run best on no nitro,mix your own,and its a lot cheaper.
Good luch with all those runstangs guys.(little aces high humor)
