DOES anyone know if there is a conversion kit for the 1/6 pica mustang
to change it to a B model?



thanks

Not to my knowledge, Dan. I just finished the old, out of production, Top Flite P-51b, which I bought off eBay. It was supposed to come with the b model canopy. It didn't. And I can tell you it is next to impossible to locate one. If you could find the canopy, you could pretty well scratch-build the turtle deck to make the conversion.

Top Flite makes a D to B conversion kit for the Gold Edition P 51, 60 size plane. I am not sure if that is of any help. I have seen the conversion kit in the forums for about $25.00. Might want to check the Top Flite web site to see if the canopy is available as a seperate part. Good Luck, Dave

THANKS DAVE, I have to go back and see if topflight offers the canopy with the kit. I may have to go with the topflight, but i like the pica better.

yup, they do have the canopy with the kit.


Dave, do you think this will fit the 1/6 PICA? THIS may be a bit of a gamble.


thanks

The fit between the Top Flite and the Pica would be my biggest concern. If the wing spans are close, then it should be workable.

As I recall, in my panic to find a canopy for my "b" model, I found that Morris Hobbies sells an ARF, and I bought the canopy, which was too large, plus it did not have the rounded rear portion.

I was fortunate to find out that an old RC friend had a partially completed kit stored in his attic that I could get the "b" canopy out of.

azcat, the pica has a 10 inch longer span and a 10 longer fuse so
i don;t think the top flight conversion kit will work.

Same problem I ran into. No, it won't work. I thought about carving a plug and vacumn forming my own, but that is a lot of work. Good luck, hope you find a solution.
