Heres the info and specs on my plane.

Top flight P-51 1/7scale kit.

Wingspan 65"
Length 56.5"
Engine .60-.91 cu 2-stroke
.90-.120 cu 4-stroke


I plans are to look as best as it can. I plan of changing the painting scheme due to visability issues (Charlie P. ) for one and two i dont like it. haha I plan on finding a real paint scheme and transfering it. i may use the one in the Commemerative Air Force Museum.

Anyway, i want the standard flight controls (sorry about not mentioning but i am quite familure with aircraft. im working to get my private pilots license) Pitch, bank, yaw, and throttle. Then i'd like to make flaps as well as retractable gear, both main and tail. And then i'd like to have gear doors on the tail that'll close after they're up. But i dont know what that will entail or the type of skills needed. Right now i have no clue on what parts i will get for what as im doing the research and getting prices for all the parts for the aircraft. nothing else. i know that theres other equipment like field equipment but im just looking to get a price for this plane as it was a $140 kit that i got for free that's already been built.

Now my question is how many servos will i need for this and how many channels will it take? For the flaps i want to use 2 micro servos (one for each) and the retracts will be air powered. And the gear doors (if it is possible wat would they use) (and if its too difficult i wont bother with it.)

Below should be some pictures of the model and what i start out with. Sorry the quality is crap they came off my phone. If you guys want better pictures i'll get some. Any comment, advice, and critizism is welcome.
