RE: Byron P51
Kevin........ What engine is in the Mustang ? How is it mounted ? How much nose weight ? I am about to mount a G 62 in a Byron P-51 That I started this year. I would really appreciate a little info. I have already spoken to "Don" about painting it... Thanks

RE: Byron P51
I don't want to hijack this thread, but there aren't too many on the Byron P-51. I am finishing mine this winter and am putting in Byron's Mustang 50cc engine with Purr-Pow'r mount, direct drive (no prop reduction kit).
Question: Has anyone fashioned a way to close the tail wheel doors with the retractable tail wheel? I seem to remember that someone had rigged a rubber band somehow to close the doors as the tailwheel moved forward and up into the fuselage.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards,
Mark

I've started using a Hitec55 servo (only weighs 0.28 oz) with a bell crank arangement for the doors. With a 9303 radio I can setup the servo as a slave to the retract servo. That way I can control the delay for opening and closing independently. I've done this on a couple of planes so far and it seems to be working out fine.
