Your welcome!

Yeah the ground handling is very good. It does like fast throttle on takeoff tho! Slow advance seems to result in a ground loop!
The roll out on landing is great. You wont need any wingtip protection on this bird!

The faired tail wheel is scale. Its just a little too far back because of the spring coil. It should be just aft of the hingeline.

As far as the engine mounting goes, I stand corrected. They do provide the holes drilled with blindnuts installed. I had removed them, drilled the holes to 1/4" and inserted 1/4" dowel 1/4"long to fill them. Then I relocated my own! Sorry, I dont remember the spacing.

I used the LG strap Idea on my 80" World Models p-51 Which is basically the same. I was afraid it would separate to but the flightloads wont allow that to happen especially with the wing bolts and the keying of the LE wing location. Its on each wing half and they both go into the former as dowels! If they come apart....
Youre already in the ground

Oh I Was able to use my camcorder



This is one Bird thats definitely worth the bucks
