Default Lazy Tiger P-51 ? Engine Rec./ Servo Rec. / Grass Landing?

Well I've got about 20 flights on my TT Lazy Tiger P51. It flies great! Just make sure you get the CG right. My first maiden was way tail heavy and it porpised a lot. That and the engine died about fourty feet in the air after take off. I was lucky to get it around and back in one piece.

Once the CG was spot on and the engine (OS 40LA) was dialed in, it flew much better. With high rates, it is very nimble and can carve a lot of turns in a small space.

I'd have to say the touch & goes are my favorite. It does killer two wheel landings and I can keep it on two wheels all the way down the runway until I add just a tad elevator and power out smoothly.

Thanks again for the tips. It's a very fun little plane!
