Richard: glassed...? Sounds heavy. Must be a better flier with monocote? Very nice craft.

psk560: got that vid now, very thrilling! But glassed... sounds heavy. hmm...

If you got more pics please post them!

Warbirds look much better when they are glassed and spray painted. When done properly, a glassed and painted warbird does not weigh that much more than one covered with MonoKote.

Default RE: What does you TF P51 60 weigh?

indeed, they look much better painted/glassed, but ive made up my mind and im going to cover mine. i doubt that a glassed bird wieght equal (or even close..) as a coverd one! bytheway, P40 or P51 when it comes to flying?

if you have the time i would apricate if you could tell me some about the p51. if thereĀ“s something i should know befor trying to pull her up in the skies... never flown a warbird befor ...

best regards
