DanIsGo good Luck on your maiden, if you haven't so yet.. If so well hope it all went well!!
I'm about to start sanding mine and recover it with matching monokote aluminum and cover the rudder or maybe just paint it(not sure yet), but it's going to be yellow.. I'm trying to go for Lt. Richard Candelaria's P51 "My Pride and Joy"
I still need to decide on what engine..At first I was thinking a Saito, but then I don't know if to just go with an OS and the TF in cowl muffler.. BUT now I'm really liking the DLE20RA with the exhaust in cowl and towards the back..I'm los haha, but in no hurry since my home field is out of service, well the road is.. video of damage;
