RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

I say A-M-E-N to that Fujiman!!!! Even buying the ARF or the ARC in this size model leaves a person with PLENTY of building to do. These are certainly not of the shake-and-bake variety model...

With the DA-50 in the nose mine is a real sweetheart of a model to fly. I wouldn't change that if I built another one, no siree!

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

Come on Guys! No pilot????? I mean, by all things holy, a model has to have a pilot in it. It gets the imagination juices flowing when you see your model fly by with what looks like a pilot in...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

Hi Guys: Yesterday I finally got out to my shop and started to really try and track down the gremlin that has been causing the servo glitches in my P-51. I'd put it off as long as I could because...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly (1ST MISHAP!!!)

My hobby-shop owner mentioned the same thing to me about the frayed or poor contacting servo signal line. I'll continue to check everything - it ALL was new when installed and I really tried hard to...
