RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build
bull51,
String should work fine just keep checking it though keep up the good work.
RCMustang,
Glad to see someone reads this thread besides bull. Anyway happy to hear you like my gear door approach. But I think the whole idea is just not to have them on for flight at all make them removable. You can put them back on for display in the pits. Save the complex operational gear and door details for the larger Ziroli or Yellow Aircraft Mustang kits. I sure don't plan to enter my 1/7 scale Top Flight kit in any Top Gun contest soon, of course we all know it's stand off scale at best right. Not to bash Top Flight's kit it's a great kit but could be better with regard to the retract instalation and a few other scale details. But again that's what model building is all about, if you don't like it change it make it better. I guess that's why we go to some war bird Fun Flys and see so many Top Flight kits in various levels of cosmetic detail and ability. It's all up to you the builder,so go for it and have some fun!
