Default P-51

The only major change that I made was to decrease the dihedral from 6 1/4" to 5". The retract servo was raised 1/4" to prevent binding& the back of the retracts were shimmed up one thick was per rear mounting screw...this helps a little on the nose over problem. I did add some machine guns..3 on each wing panel. I mounted the exhaust panels on the cowl as one piece..looks better..also I added exhaust stacks on the panels....send me your email address and I will send you some pictures. I am powering it with a YS-91 FS using 14X8 prop...flies just great
it has no bad tendencies...be aware that as soon as the tail lifts it wants to fly..
