Hi I just bought a Bud Nolsen P-51 Mustang it has a 102" Wingspan. I was wondering what size and type of engine would work the best on this plane. I have not got this plane yet it is on it's way. The kit is brand new and the previous owner told me that it takes a 45cc to 65cc engine, I don't know if thats right or not this is the first giant scale gasser that I have ever own. Let me know what is the best to use in this plane, does anybody else have this plane? I almost forgot I was wanting to go with a 3 or 4 bladed prop for a more scale look if they make it. What prop sizes work the best I know it depends on the engine size and all. One last thing i want to use Futaba servos but I am not for sure what would work the best with this plane. Thanks for your help.

Hi Brian I had one a few years back that had a G 62 in it. Did not have enough power though. A 70 or 80cc rear cacb engine would have been a better choice. You might get some better answers on the Warbird forum.

Thanks for all your help guys. Yeah I think something bigger than a 60 would be the way to go. What I am looking for is an engine that I don't have to run wide open all the time and I have power in reserve in case I need it. I don't know how well these planes do aerobatically, although I am not looking for something really aerobatic but it would be nice to do a few manuvers.
