Default P-51

Hey guys,
I bought one of the first ones to hit the hobby stores. I didn't realize there was a big discussion over it. Mine is two weeks old, 8 flights. I give it a 10-10 so far. Not to brag, best flying P-51 of all my 19 yrs of flying. I just put it together like it is except for the servos in the tail. I went ahead and made a tray inside behind the throttle servo using good old dowel control rods. No problems so far. Saito .91 turning a 14x6 Zinger prop pulls it just right, not overpowered, not undered powered. I wouldn't put much more than a Saito 100, even a Saito .72 would pull this bird. As for areobatics, it snap rolls great, inverted flying, hammer heads, and mine will do knife edges with a little more rudder than they say, but who does a knife with a P-51 anyway, but I had to try it. Any question???? Email I will give you my phone##
