Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Good to hear from someone on this thread. My Hellcat (from Nitro Planes) is still in the box but I'm collecting the components. I got a really good deal on it from a guy at the AMA show last Jan. He had bought it but had to many other projects. It came with Century retracts... $225 for the plane and retracts. Also I bought a hydraulic unit from a friend...$20 below cost. I plan on putting a 125 Saito in mine. It's a good engine with all the power this bird needs. I want to keep the weight down. The guy I bought it from an old time buider said it best not to add to much weight to war birds, they fly best without it. A lot of people on this are doing a lot different things to theirs but I plan on keeping it simple. I think it looks great the way she is but I might change some of the grafpics.
Good Luck with yours.
