P-51
#1
Thread Starter

I do not want to start any arguments or any wars here, I just want to know, does anyone offer an ARF of the P-51 (any variant) that has the correct scale outline and close to scale airfoil? It needs to be well designed, and not need to be re-engineered, or rebuilt. Somewhere in the 12 to 16 pound range (all up ready to fly) I want to use a Moki 2.6 for power.
I have years of building and flying experience, just not much (1 warbird) in the way of ARF's. Information will be greatly appreciated. Also, if there are any to especially stay away from I would like to hear that. Thanks.

Is this scale appearance before or after a crash.

As far as P-51, at first glance , look at the scoop under neath. The Hangar 9 Marie is pretty good. The larger the plane, the more scale like appearance you may find.
I have all sizes and the WM GS with a BGX up front. I just built it as is. Well i have the Ms America and hacked it up into a modified style like a dago red. I know some who took the Warbird schemm and re built quite a bit of it to bring it close to scale like tail wheel location and other stuff

Okay Tailskid, You asked fer it!!! Howzit goin in the other Sunshine State? I can't believe that I'm really considering another one of them dam ARF's Especially after all the headaches with the Hangar 9 P-47. I was just looking at the thread on the new J-3 and I can't believe how everyone takes up for those guys. Parts missing, tail assemblies crushed in the box just to name a couple, but everyone thinks that Hobbico will make it okay...go figger...I have been trying for a week now to get them to quote me a price on a new cowl for that dang Jug, but so far no answer. May as well patch mine up, and use it as a plug and make a mold and do my own. Guess I'll have to. Take care of yourself.
