Default RE: Four Blade Props

Kilroy52,
I have a Top Flite Red Box P-51B with a 3 blade prop, (which is correct). She has flaps, retracts, hand built cockpit, and is, or was, fun to fly. General Chuck Yeager was so impressed with her he placed his personal autograph on her hood right in front of the windscreen. My wife won't allow me to fly her anymore and declared her a Hangar Queen! I hung her, (the P51B, not my wife...LOL) in the corner of my living room. My wife came home, saw the Mustang hanging and asked, "Are we hanging our R/C Airplanes in the living room now?" I smiled and replied, "If they're autographed by Chuck Yeager we are!" No further protest was made. She, the P51B, now flies 24/7, flying escort for a flight of B-25 Mitchell Bombers from the 498th Air Apaches gunning and bombing Japanese ships off LaShima in a Robert Taylor Painting hanging next to her. I have two 86" W/S P51B's that will be equipped with 3 blade props on their 2.10 engines. I plan to put a 4 blade prop, (without a reduction drive) on my Pica 1/5th scale P51D. Rock On!

"Keep 'Em Flying!"
