Default RE: Landing Top Flite P51 with Flaps

Just a bit of input on this motor and prop. When I was breaking in the motor I used a 13-8 then went to a 13-9 after a gallon. Then flew another 2 gallons on that then went to a 14-8. I also tried a 13-10 which gave me more speed but I lost a lot of vertical. Went back to a 14-8 and stayed with it. Gave me great speed and extreme vertical. This was on a WM P-51 60 size that had been glassed and painted. Very similar to your mustang. I used a Bisson pitts muffler which with the 14-8 APC prop gave it a very nice none 2-stroke sound had a very distinct throaty sound which I was complemented on several times. All the props had been APC but when it was broken in the 14-8 APC was the perfect prop to me.
