What great info!
Montague, those are some great pics showing what I thought
would be an impossible task! I had already given up on trying to
hand-launch my Pica P-51B mustang. In fact, I put the gear on it
to ROG. Maybe I should give the underhanded method a try. The
problem is, I already installed the engine inverted, and would
surely get trashed at the first belly landing! Maybe I'll order a new
cowl...
