Hi guys, it's been a long time since I posted .............. I had the maiden flight on my P51 a couple of weeks ago.
The model depicts P-51D-10 44-14660 'LITTLE DUCKFOOT' of Lt Gerald Tyler 364th fighter squadron.

There is a video of the maiden flight here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnuGkpvidAY

The gear wasn't raised this flight to check the air system for leaks, upon landing everything air wise was fine, it will 'go up' next time !
She flew like she was on rails ........... even on full flap, going slowly for landing ............... unfortunately, a broken steering cable on the tailwheel prevented another flight. All fixed up now and ready to go again.
