I just finished building a sig 1/4 scale cub and now I am on to my next project. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good quaility 1/5 or 1/6 P-51 kit? I know top flite has one, but was wondering if there are any others out there that someone has worked with? Thank you all.

Pica had one but there are gone. Cox picked up the line but I don't know if they will offer any of the kits. Check Ebay they pop up from time to time. I own one and liked building and flying it. Dave Platt offers one also but its a short kit. I built the 7th scale TF P-51 and thought it was OK but I prefer a larger plane. I would suggest that you go as large as your budget allows. Bigger always flys better. Ziroli's are nice but you need to cut or order a kit fro a cutter. Hope this helps.

My Feedback: (1)

The building/flying of a P-51 depends upon your ability. There are ARF quality A/C out there, and very tedious to build up ones. For the lower end go to the web pages of current advertisers, and for the upper end take a quick run through the pages at RCSCALEBUILDER.

One fast way to separate the ARF quality from a real scale job is to see if the landing gear is hinged up near the leading edge or not. If you want something to resemble a P-51 then aim towards the arf end.
