RE: KMP P-51B
Not a Hawkeye fan sry. In all honesty, the ESM P-51B looks better then a Seafury or Zero. Im not a Japanese fan at all(regarding planes) and the Seafury really isnt my taste either.
My wife bought the plane with the idea that she wanted me to paint it like it was captured by the Luftwaffe. Since she bought it, probably not a good idea to trade it off if I know whats good for me...lol.

RE: KMP P-51B
Hi, I am looking for a Zero to complement my Spitfire, Corsair, P51 and Machhi C205. Do you wish to sell or trade your CMP Zero? Just thinking about it. Regards, SPACEWORM.

Re: ESM - P-51B "Bald Eagle" from TroybuiltModels
Hi Guys,
Since this thread is rather old & so whoever may read this, I hope to get some responses:
Servo’s:
· I have the P-51B "Bald Eagle".I am looking for some info. & advice. When it comes to Radio recommendations,mainly servos, the manual lacks this info. I need some advice and help. Ihave not seen any recommendations as to servo size, torque, speed, and overallservo weight and Engine combinations that seem to work well inthis set up. Can anyone make any recommendations as to what Servos for whichtail surfaces have worked well?
· I was planning on Hitec HS-645HB orHS-635HB's for the Ailerons & Elevator.
· The Hitec HS-5625MG for the Rudder (Unlessthat's overkill) I think the 645HB, or HS-635HB's would also work outjust as well.
· For the Throttle a Futaba S-3004 (justbecause I have a few left sitting around here).
· For the Flaps I am not too sure whichservos, maybe the HS-645HB, or HS-635HB’s???
Engine:
· I have a 2-Stroke OS Max 1.20AX with the Powerbox muffler which has only a few runs on it which runs well.
· I also have an OS. Max 4-Stroke .91
I could use one of these engines listed above, although Ifeel the 4 Stroke .91 would not be enough especially at some of the weight’sthat I have seen referred to for this plane ( close to 16lbs. or at 16lbs).
I was thinking I could go with the OS Max 1.20AX but that May be marginal as well.
I could go with something bigger in the 2Stroke or the 4-Stroke area, but I was also thinking a .26cc to a .30cc Gas engine.If I was to go with the Gas engine, I think I would then go with the .30cc sizeproviding the weight but more importantly the size fits. I would prefer to fitit up and under the cowling with the muffler without having to chop it up, sothat’s a big consideration because I want to keep it as close to scale aspossible.
Thanks in advance for all who read and share what they know.

Hi Guys,
I have to curious questions and I am sure there will be moreto come. I just hope someone will be able to respond.
Re: ESM – P-51B “Bald Eagle”
1. The Ailerons &Flaps: Does anyone know for sure if they are built up or solid? They appear tobe built up. But I am wondering because I am contemplating exactly how to setup the control horns.
2. Also on theAilerons & Flaps I have noticed that there are 2 small holes drilled intothe center of the leading edge somewhat evenly spaced from the center out. Iwas wondering does anyone know why these holes are there or what the intent wasfor them?
Thanks
Ed
