VQ Models P51B
 

I was woundering if there is anyone out there flying a VQ models P51B. I am just finsihing mine up and plan to fly it this weekend.

Is the 132mm balance point right?

What are you using for am engine?

How's it fly?

I put a Magnum 52 2 stroke in mine ( I had it laying around).

Come on there must be somebody out there flying this plane[sm=confused.gif]. I can't be the only one who has bought it!!!! I have it set up per the instructions and will be flying it tonight after work. I'll let you know what happens!

Unless you have better luck than all the other VQ pilots, you most likly will rip the gear out of the soft wood. I don't think they make the planes out of balsa. But what is softer than balsa?? Good luck. I hope all goes well.

I flew it last night. Three great flights. This thing is a rocket with the 51 two stroke in it. The retracts worked great and I had no nose over problems, even with the field grass a little deep. The 132mm balance point seems to be right on. I took a hard look at the quality of the balsa and plywood in this plane aan it's not the typical crap wood you get in a lot of foreign arfs. I can actually see the grain of the wood. I had one rough landing after a flame out but all it did was bend the connecting wires between the strut and landing gear mechanism. I am very happy with this plane. It looks great in the air and on the ground.

I have a new VQ p39 looking good still working on

I had the original VQ Zero during my first year when I was a newbie in this hobby, and that thing lasted well over 70 flights on the original gear mounts. Unless you are constantly making one super hard landing after another, the gear mounts will hold up fine.

Just geting ready to assemble my VQ P51B. Anymore flight updates on this baby. Pictures or videos anyone?:D

RE: VQ Models P51B
 

OK... finished my P51B. Will post pictures as soon as I get them. Plane went together easier than I thought. Looks real nice too. No problems installing the linkages as described in the manual although the twin elevator wire setup at first had me a little worried. The landing gears have the Oleo struts already installed on them and look great altough they seem to wobble a little more than I'd like front to back. Lock down and lock up postions seem fine with little to no wobble.
