Default RE: TOP FLITE SPITFIRE BUILD

I'll have plenty of weight in the nose, me thinks
I just bought a Zinger 4-blade prop (thank you ebay, once again!),
and was quite suprised by the weight of the assembly. I bet it's at
least 8 ounces. What 4-blader are you using, Saramos?

I fear that by the time I'm through, I will not only have a scale-looking
mustang, but also one with a scale power-to-weight ratio!

I actually have another P-51, an ARF that was given to me. It's not
very scale looking, so naturally I don't like it much :P. But, I think I
will make good use of it as a P-51 trainer so that I can get some
mustang stick time before sending my beauty in the air. I'll probably
have to put a lot of weight in that ARF to make it fly like the other.

The fans weigh next-to-nothing.
