Default RE: World Models P-51D Mustang "EP" 49 Inch Wing Span

Sunday morning (January 4th, 2009) flying fest!!!


Guys!

It was a marthon of sorts, got to the RC CLub sort of late and first flight was around at 11:00am with winds of 9 MPH with changing direction.

Both the WM Mustang and my Large Citabria had a little landing mishap and none of the models were damaged. The WM Mustang once again had one of it's main (Right Side) retract fold on final and almost to a complete stop. I noticed that the Retract servo was slightly loose and all I needed was to tighten the servo securing screws "and" perform a TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT so, the LOCK could be reached once the main gear was activated to DOWN. The 3rd Flight allowed to verify this and the model came in fast with good airspeed and the main retract gear held solid and the model did not nose over.

There was one RC Club member that was there next to me and co-celebrated my success with almost 4 flights with the Mustang!

I have attached pictures of my largest RC Airplane model that I own and fly.
