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

Agreed. My Zenoahs hang in my garage all winter. I do not do anything special to them except keep them well tuned and use penzoil oil mixed 40:1. I also use AVGAS for fuel. It's cleaner, more stable,...

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

Ihave been running a G45 in my P-51 for the last 6 years and it is one of the finest flying warbirds at our field. I swing a 19-10 Xoar prop. I believe this to be the best prop for this motor in a...

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

It is unusual for this to happen after such a short time. I have nearly 500 flights on my P-51 and have only had to replace one set of torque links. Very reliable gear.

Hysol or methacrylate. These ashesives are simply the best when it come to bonding material of disimiliar substrates.

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