RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build
Started on the exhaust manifolds today. Wasn't sure of the best way to do them, so as they are the TF 1/7 ARF parts, I looked at the instruction book online for that aircraft. They have a recess in the nose for this purpose. So, I located and cut out most of the balsa in that area. I left the small piece alone, as that's where a lot of the strength in the firewall attachment is, and cut a notch in the manifolds to fit over it. I sanded the edges of the 'folds, and used 5 min epoxy to stick em in there.
I'm now off to the Highpoint body shop to see about etching/painting of the spinner.
