RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

I've had 150+ landings on the original landing gear and sure they need to be bent back to shape somethimes, but that PTS gear is tough. If your smashing your plane down on landings then I don't care...

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

I flew at WOT all the time because I wanted to, and after having 150+ flights with my PTS, why not. It's not like that stock evo engine with an APC 11*6 is going to rip the plane apart. The PTS evo...

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

Thanks, I give that a try. I've never worked with glass. Now I have to check that the CG is correct. The OS .61fx w/muf is around 4oz heavier than the evo. What happens when your cg is forward.

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

I was looking at the mounting last night, and it's like trying to fit a V8 into a Honda. I'm just going to jam that OS .61fx in there. I hope the cowl still fits with some mods. If anyone has any...

As for three bladed props:

Horizon sells the 10.5x4 three bladed prop that comes with the kit for $3.99USD. (Cheap and good for training, but no good once you want more speed and pull)

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**
