RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications

My first warbird was a Hanger9 .46 size P-51 PTS with the optional wing droops....it was low cost, and the extra surface area on the wings and the modest power on it got me used to takeoff / landings...

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications

Man, that sucks....I have seen your posts on here for months, and know how hard you worked on this plane, and also saw how sweet your setup was.

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications

It be true that the Saito 125 does double as a paint mixer on this plane. I have had a aileron hinge crack, servo screws loosen, motor mount screws loosen...basically, I have learned to go over the...

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications

The slimline pitts on my Saito 125 is a little larger than I would like. The Keleo looks really nice and compact.

I have only two blade...

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications

I looked long and hard, and the TF seemed like the best P-51 ARF in the .60 size class. Sounds like MDOMOKOS got a lemon, I have experienced none of those issues, and my covering was also fine. I...

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications

amen brother....I'm with you Bob

RE: Top Flite '.60 size' P-51D Mustang ARF: Building & Modifications
