Hello,
Trying to revive this thread as I just acquired a NIB 80” and want to build it with a DLE35. Any and all feedback would be awesome on the engine cooling and authority, stock retracts (have retract servos) and any issues I should cover while building.
Regards
Hosam

Well, I finally finished my H9 Mustang. All electric (Eflite Power 160 motor, 120 amp CC ESC, APC 19X10 prop. Plan to fly on 10S for now.
I refinished mine in the Capt William Whisner's, "Moonbeam McSwine" livery of the 352nd FG/ 486th FS. Ultracote and matching latex paint from Ace Hardware was sprayed on the chin cowl and spinner. I also added Tony Howard's scale exhaust and oil cooler covers. Robart 4" aluminum scale wheels and electric retracts. Turbo Supercharger exit door was fashioned out of aluminum, as were the landing gear doors.
Callie's awesome graphics.
I still need to balance her and then maiden. Here are some pics...

Robart electric retracts for version 2
Just now building my p51 and the robart gear I ordered for this model are too long! Long by about 1/4inch. Did anyone else have this issue or did they work fine for you?
Anybody have any measurements they can share? Robart is telling me they are right but it clearly is almost 1/4 to long and not on center. They were trying to rush me off the phone too! Somethings up. I clearly know I have version 2. If you go on their website you will see their measurements are not correct for this plane.
Just a touch long, wheel will not be in the center.

Here are the drawings that Robart say fit this version 2 p51 150. I don’t think it’s correct! Can someone verify that has the robart gear?

P51
yeah, pretty excited and ready to maiden it. I have my robart retracts modified and ready to go. Just dialing in CG now. Do you remember if stock CG was good? Looks like I will need to add a little weight even with the DLE 35!

V1 or V2?
I found a new V1 in the box. Starting to assemble it.
First thing i did was modify the retract bays with more wood and fiberglass.
I will need to strip the flaps though. If they are mounted so the TE matches up with the ailerons i only get about 1/4in down. Looks like i will need to do some sanding to get full flap movement.
