Well I have taken the plunge and started to build my first kit. Its a great planes p51 mustang. I know I know, not a begginer build (or fly) but Im gonna try and takle it. It won't be the first one I fly but I will slowly build it up through the coming months. The plan is to build this while learning to fly a trainer that I plan to purchase. Not quite sure what trainer yet but Im hoping to pick up an intermediate style trainer that I wont grow out of quite so quickly. Ive got all the stuff to go along with the build and I picked a OS .46 AX engine. The only thing I am missing so far is the covering material and tools. I think I will find someone that knows what they are doing to help with that process. After reading the instructions a couple of times and reading a few books I think I can probably handle the rest. Im hoping to use my Spectrum DX6i transmitter with the plane but Im not sure yet with what reciever.

One question I have is about the servos. Ive got some Futaba 3004 standard bb servos but Im wondering if I can use those for this plane? I cant find specs on what the servo speed and torque should be. I dont want to put in weak servos only to see the plane go down.

So far Ive got the tail feathers set up, glued and sanded. I used a hollow door and some DOW foam as the building surface. I have thin and med CA and 6 and 30 minute epoxy. If there looks to be somethign wrong, fire away!
