So with the announcement of Hobbico filing bankruptcy on 1/10/18 I find it necessary to act upon Platt's Law #7. Hobbico owns Tower and the Top Flite and Great Planes brands. With the debt load so...

Ralph, I am curious as to what leads you to think I am not selling Mustang Cowlings anymore? Send a PM with your e-mail address and I can send you details. Postings like this remind me of that Mark...

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

Nick, I still make the cowls and you can get a separate lower cowl should something happen. Your airplane looks fantastic! I love seeing customer completions. My e-mail is [email protected]...

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

Most of my customers are epoxy bonding the Spychalla cowl to the firewall and then taking the engine in and out of the assembly through the lower hatch. This allows for the seam to be filled and not...

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

The ARF has a 5" diameter spinner that is pointy in shape compared to a true P-51 shape. The stock spinner has been known to fly apart if you don't have enough screws around the perimeter. Picture...

Eugene, "three point landing" Training stressed for Piper Cub on up to what? Our model planes often emulate their full scale counterparts especially if they are built with near scale proportions. ...

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

Mihelone,

I have done the same as you with the TF P-51 on blacktop several times. We call it a "Ground Loop". Bent a strut once and ripped a gear through the top of the wing another time. I...

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

Dave, Get the Tony Howard Exhaust kit but don't buy the stab relocation kit. The B model Razorback conversion kit that you have already purchased from me includes everything for a stab relocation. ...

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

Just bind them at separate times. No problem. The AR7000 does not communicate back to the TX so it has no idea that a second RX is out there. The special unique code is in your TX. The AR9000...

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

Well let's not think too much of it. Remember this is the wrinkly ChinaCote covered ARF we are all familiar with. You just can't see all the flaws and wrinkles in digital photos. The photos can...

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

I've been literally burning the midnight oil trying to get this thing done so I can take it to Muncie. Got all the radio gear and tank in tonight. Quick check of the C.G. shows I am about 3/8" nose...

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

Sure. It is pretty easy. Carb adjustment is done through two holes in the side of the airplane. In this case they come out right on the RH exhaust manifold. You can see my picture with the...

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

After the coat of primer I sprayed on one layer of white PPG acrylic. This helps bring out the pigment of the red top coat. Red has such poor coverage and this really makes a difference. Coverage...

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

I decided to sweeten up the front of a TF GS P-51 ARF I have. This thread seemed like a good place for it. I've never understood what the (1ST MISHAP!!!) in the title means but it sure is a good...
