Thanks,

Now that is interesting, I would be curious to find out what caused it to fail? Vibration? Defective metal? Is this the only torque link that has failed on your model?

Where do you get the "soft mount kit" ? I am interested in doing the same thing to reduce vibration to the airframe from the engine. You have done some very nice wood working there! Again, nice...

Hey Thunderbolt.

The modifications that you did, are they accessible from the lander gear bay? Or, do you have to remove some of the covering?


Thanks,

What exactly is the landing gear upgrade? Is there a post you might be able to direct me too? Is it just adding more glue in the landing gear areas?

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