CMP P-51 ARF 68" Span
Flew this, my first (and only) scale ARF.
Superb model. Powered by an ASP 108 (inverted) and used fixed gear as the retracts looked to me very out of scale.
Handles really well, a joy to fly. Flaps very effective too.
Mods I did to the basic design:
- split elevator pushrod (Y shape) in place of the U joiner supplied
- all canopy and cowl screws changed to Allen 2-56 bolts and S/L blind nuts.
Will now add insignia and various details.
