Remember this baby? Received 4 stars in the phot gallery. Well some of you may recall the slamming review i gave last year on this piece. It came out of the box so screwe up that i rebuilt and recovered.
*Weighed in at 11.5lbs with a OS 1.08 in it. The engine runs super. Now in the past year and a half I only flew it about 7 times and each flight was a nightmare due to the weight. No room for a larger engine. So last Sunday up it went again and again it was just a pain. I was sort of lucky enough to "get it back" but pancaked it on the runway and broke the wing.
*It is fixable but not worth the aggravation in the long run. So on the way home i stopped by the LHS and picked up the Modeltech P-47 67"wing. Going to throw all the stuff from the P-51 in it and should top out at about 8lbs.
*I have been assembling it the last few days and I am impressed. Need to be careful ironing out the bubble. Responds to well to higher heat and curls up the covering. Need extreme low heat. Kinda looking forward to this one.
