Thanks,Dan

P-51
 
I work for Hobby People so I may be a little biased but here goes.



The p51 is a nice plane, and a great deal. Includes Mechanical retracts (magnum) and Aluminum Spinner (Magnum) and seems to be very complete. I'd reccommend going with a larger engine, and changing the fuel tank as the included tank is a little small.

The covering seems to be nice but as with all ARFs theere is some work to be dome on seams and edges. All in all it's not bad. Personally I like the looks of the GP version better but it's got a foam covering instead of Iron-on.

Hope this helps.

A friend of mine has this plane, all I can say is "WOW!". It's great.
Flies great and looks great. You won't be disappointed.....

Thanks guys. Think I'll go for it. Just have to decide which engine. I do know it will be a inverted four stroke so I dont have to carve up the cowl.

An O.S. 70 seems to work pretty good......

Great engine! I have one mounted inverted in a World Models P-51 and it is a great combination. The Modeltech P-51 is a similar size so it should be a good combination.
