Got my P-51 PTS yesterday. I assembled it in one evening with no problems. The balance is a bit nose heavy.
Does anyone know what the weighted disk is for that sits behind the spinner backplate ? Has anyone removed it and flown the plane?
A bit nose heavy is good, tail heavey no good. I have 1/4 oz at the tail and the nose is still a bit heavy just what I want.
I would leave the flywheel for a while, you can take it out later, it helps the motor for better idling.
