RE: Byron 51 Build Thread

To all my P-51 brothers out there. I have come to the realization that this Byron 51 is not going to get built in a timeframe suitable for my needs. I have far too many obligations upon my time to complete this project. It is a wonderful model and I have put a lot of TLC into her but alas, I won’t have a chance to even think about working on it until late next year. I love the 24 inch 4 blade machine and hate to part with it but I wanted to give my fellow enthusiast the opportunity before I put it up for sale. Seems only fair to offer her to someone who would complete the project in the tradition it deserves. So, without any further adieu, this is where I am at.Wing is completely constructed and glassed with 2 oz cloth for the center section and ¾ oz glass for the remainder of the wing.Retract wells installedRetract mounts installedI have two sets of blades (total of 8)Original Byron retractable tail wheelOriginal Byron 180 degree retract servoOriginal Q42 with 4 tanks of fuel through it. High and low speed jets are set but engine never flown.Two mufflersUpdated version of the air retracts ready for installUpdated 2 Servo mounts with servo doors installed in the wing for aileronsByron reduction drive with break in video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh8nwgm5lPk

Ailerons and flaps built

This is the most completed Byron 51 kit you will find with extras not available with kit. All it needs is your radio and construction time.

$1500.00 plus shipping.
