Has anyone modified their wing to be a two piece / plug in wing for the Bud Nosen P-51? Just bought the kit, came with Like Line retracts Aluminum spinner and canopy. Would prefer two 51 inch wing halfs over one 102 inch span!

thanks

I built mine with a three piece wing. I have a center section including the retracts and flaps, then two outboard panels. This way I can assemble the model and check out the systems and then roll her into the trailer on her wheels. When I get to the field I just install the outer wing panels and go fly. Before skinning the wings I added two more ribs at the break point and used two aluminum blade spars like that used in Byron Originals models in each panel and anti-rotation pins. It has worked like a charm.

yes... please send or post pics. Are the blade spars just flat aluminum stock that insert into rectangular tube stock?
thanks.

Please post some pics. I would like to build a three piece wing when I start my Ziroli P-47 this coming winter.

I just bought a Nosen P-51 and at the present all I have is "the sticks". I hope to start it early September as I'm finishing my TF Corsair 1st. I need some help finding a source for the plastic parts; canopy, cowl etc. I also have started searching for a link or contact info for "Lyke Line" retracts and haven't been able to find it. Can one of you guys whose ahead of me give a little help?

Thanks guys.

I have a set for the Nosen P51, including the tail wheel, and they are mighty impressive.
