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

Hey Gary,
Where do you fly? I'd like to see your P-51 in action sometime and I'm very close to you in West Milton. I definitely think I could learn a thing or two (or two thousand) from you as your...

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

OK, so the giant P-51 is "very different". I'm not really sure how helpful that is to me. I went to the link and it was very informative but I think it's best to build on whatever experience you...

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

Thanks for all the advice! I've been focusing on finishing my 73" CMP P-40 lately, since the P-51 and retracts are both on backorder. And now that I finished it of course the last two days were the...

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

I thought Chief might have them but I talked to them today and they are out as well. I called so many different hobby shops today and couldn't find a single one who has this thing in stock! I even...

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

I have been looking at some wrap around mufflers but I'm having trouble figuring out which ones would be compatible with my engine. The muffler mounting holes are 43mm apart but I can't find the...

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

Well, I'm thinking my P-51 is on backorder, as are my retracts. Not cool. Anybody know where I can get the ARF or Robarts right now for a competitive price? I did, however, get my FTL45 from Hong...

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

You guys really have been helpful and I appreciate it. I think that I'm coming to the conclusion, with your assistance, that good quality mechanical retracts are not yet out there and even if they...

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

Wow! Now that I've invited everyone to give me their completely unrelated soapbox rant, I would like to ask my question once more. Is there in existence on this earth that we live on a set of...

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

None of this is about me or what I'm capable of. I'm just trying to be frugal and think of all the alternatives. I'm asking for advice and wondering if there are any mechanical alternatives that are...

Engine $200 (FTL45 from HobbyCity with CDI)
Servos $115 (yes, I'm talking 8 90+ oz./in. plus 2 retracts)
Rx $0...

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

It isn't so much that I can't afford the more expensive gear as I refuse to. I could make it work but there's something seriously wrong in my logic with paying more for the landing gear than you paid...

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

Wow! This is quite an amazing thread! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get this P-51 immediately. But before I get everything I need for it I have a question about retractable landing gear. I am...
