Default RE: Byron Mustang w/Original Byron 50--Will it Fly?

Mark

I know a number of guys have retrofitted the aileron servos but I can't remember their names(here on RCU) , there is an instruction thread on the advisory column on RC Warbirds web site by jack Devine.

My P51 used to have a very sloppy roll rate ( a bought a well used 15 year old model) and once it started rolling to the right it would be very reluctant to level out due to the slop in the aileron linkages and the torque of the big prop, it would keep rolling and then with almost full oposite aileron it would snap back the other way............hmmm very disconcerting..............the solution was separate airleon servos. Very easy to install and makes for a much nicer flight model .

Give yours a go as is and if you find that the roll axis is very sloppy then go the conversion to seperate ailerons servos installed outboard in the wings.

cheers

Alan
