Default RE: Building the original Byron P-51 Mustang

The byron was the Man 0' War? Too bad it didn't have the reduction drive system in it. I thought it was going in on the takeoff and landing! Coolest vid ever - Thanks.
GSnut, I have retracts for my plane already and they are air up, spring down. They were graciously given to my by Scott McCory from Colorado. In the directions it does say to block the tab that locks them into the up position. I can see though, that if you don't have enought air in your tank that they might sag. Also I am going to be using a different air tank than original. Don't really want the plastic?
The plane is a bit on hold right now, waiting for some crucial parts. After that I'll get right to it.
I am putting two servos in the wings for the ailerons - what in.oz. have some of you used on this plane? I was told that it doesn't take much cause it doesn't fly that fast. The originals used one standard servvo for both ailerons but those planes were going in due to servo failure and sticking linkage. I was thinking mg 55 in.oz. min?
