I'm glad to hear we made good choices! In my haste to get my mustang project underway, I didn't research enough to find out that a DLE55RA running a 4 blade Beila prop with a 2.5 lbs of spinner and electric start hardware is probably not a good choice. I would like to keep the scale look and flight performance as much as possible. The recommended 4 blade prop size for the DLE55RA is a 19x8 which is about 1/7th scale. Thats way too small in my limited opinion. A 1/5 scale prop for P-51D is about 26.5 inches which would require a much larger engine to swing it. Can someone recommend an engine/prop combo I do some scale flying with? I estimate the all up weight will be about 31 lbs.

Regards,
Keith
