RE: World Models Midget Mustang
I had the white-and-blue one, years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it with a GMS76 in the nose. It died after only two flying seasons (faulty on-off switch), but I loved it so much I went out and bought another one right away. This time is is the yellow checkerboard one, and the GMS76 is waiting in storage, along with the Bisson pitts-style muffler. One of these rainy days I'll pull it out and start on WMMM #2.
It was a fast model, and flew very much like the full-scale version, with a streak like a cat with its tail on fire. Man, did it ever do lovely loops and rolls and avalanches. The only bad trait was a tendency to fall out of the turn to final from a low base leg, if flown a bit too slow. It caught be by surprise once, and I ended up pancaking into the tall grass with no warning. Ever after, I kept the final turn wide, with a slight dive toward the threshold.
The biggest design flaw is the wire landing gear, which tends to bend back on a hard landing, which allows the wheel pants to punch holes in the lower wing skins. Use diagonal braces extending back to the rear spar location to prevent this. Other than that, a top quality ARF in every way.
Enjoy yours!
