Default RE: Bought a used 40 sized P-51 has issues.....

I left the ailerons snappy fast just used expo to keep them easily manageable, It was windy today but I took her up anyway it is so much better I have the throw set right at 5/16

a little more then recommended for other P-51 models like my strega but I like the way its flying.

I really like these warbird style aircraft I am quite addicted to them. I am going to be looking for a good P-40. P-38, Corsair something soon. LOL the wife will love it !!

I was not going to fly the Strega yet I have a lot of hours solo time with my trainer but it is still a trainer, the guy that taught me to fly said "quit being a wuss and just fly it, take it up to pucker factor 1 height, slow it stall it get used to everything it will do and when".

So he stood beside me we took it up flew the crap out of it and I landed it and never looked back I have 7 flights on it now and its my favorite plane out of the bunch.

I ordered a http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNMD1&P=0 and some 12x7 props for it the other day.
