It's the 52 inch or 1/6 scale. Very disappointed to the scale fidelity of the bed frame landing gear. Which is why I haven't built it, among other reasons. Mick Reeves does one in various sizes that is much better.

Davide72 if i understand your question correctly you are looking for a build log of the royal stinson reliant? A guy on ebay is selling short kits.

P51 Mustang
I’m stalled on a p-51 mustang. Bought the kit started a few years back. Horizontal stabilizer parts were missing and that part in th plan was cut out. I’ve acquired that par of the plan and am now moving forward in building

P-38
I picked up a P-38 that had been hanging in a bar for some twenty years. I've stripped most of it down and gutted the old gear. There are still a few pieces of balsa that need replacing. It's been filled with who-knows-what filler and primed and painted. I planned on attempting to cover but doing a test of the tail proved that even with "most" of the paint off, to a smooth-ish finish, the covering still bubbles. So, I'll likely end up painting, but with today's primer and paint, so it shouldn't take as much, hopefully.
I also picked up replacement engine cowls to reduce weight and will be looking for replacement retracts. I've swapped out the original servos with current technology and hid the tail servos behind the coolers (meaning you can remove the housing and have access to the servos). We'll see if this was a bad idea once I get the motors and batteries installed to check the CG. Yes, I plan on running outrunners. Once I get it closer, I'll figure out if I need 5 or 6 cells/motor.

Hi All,
I have been building and flying many types of kits and planes for nearly 50 years, but never a Royal.
One of my earliest cool planes I remember seeing when getting started in the hobby was a Royal Cessna Skymaster. It was so cool and I never forgot it.
So so now I find myself with a Skymaster kit and can’t wait to start building. Now to my question, has anyone considered a four stroke .70 in the nose and an electric motor for the rear?
thoughts, comments?

The thing about electrics is that you carry the entire weight of your fuel source (battery) the entire flight, even as it loses energy toward the end. Engines produce full rated power the entire flight even as weight decreases. Its a nice thought to have a reliable electric backup. I’d get a small tank and battery so you don’t over penalize yourself with redundant weight. Good luck!
