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

In other words. dont glass the tail feathers. Unless they are metal (full scale) you want fabric.

Try the killer chrome.. Several TG planes are painted with it.

Alu is really difficult to pull off in paint. The specialized automotive paints do the best job from...

RE: nice picture

Bob, the G-45 requires hacking the cowl pretty much. The carb extends out one side and the muffler on the other. I built the plane for flying and not for scale so I wasn't too concerned about the...

RE: nice picture

nemesis4u, I'll try to answer your question. I have both planes. My P-51 isn't the ARF version its built up and powered with a G-45. My YA Jug has a Taurus 3.2 and has yet to be flown but I have...

RE: Long Term Update

Joe, I put extra wood in the weak areas as well as CF strips. The two times the gear pulled out was not because of a bad landing but 1st time, the lower gear oleo weld broke. This let the wheel and...

RE: Long Term Update

Steve, I have the Robart gear in my built up TF giant P51 and the gear rails seem no better than yours. I have had two mishaps which resulted in me rebuilding the gear mounts... Just thought you...

RE: First Flight!!!

While I appreciate your thoughts about speed I believe there are some misconsepctions regarding scale speed. Time, like the air we fly in cannot be scaled. No matter what size a plane is it travels...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

Steve, good luck with your maiden flight! If your plane flies like mine it will go just fine, no worries. If you have room at your field to make a long approach you won't need flaps but you can use...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

Steve, your tail wheel can indeed turn with the rudder. If you are using a separate servo make your ATV less for the tail wheel steering that the rudder ATV is. You don'n need much movement from the...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

Steve, I didn't put on the tail wheel doors. Didn't seem that important at the time. Since my wheel retracts foward like it should I think it would work ok. Aerotech was at the scale masters weekend...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

mfranke, I think a little of the 2.1 cylinder will stick out the bottom. I can't say for sure but the 1.8 in my yellow Spit just protrudes the bottom and the 2.1 is a little longer. Other than that,...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

I can tell you that I didn't use the Robart tail wheel on my TF Stang. Instead I used a B&D nose wheel unit. It works well and is cheaper and it can be made to retract in the proper direction which...

RE: TF 1/5 Scale P-51 ARF Assembly Thread

Pitts, if the ARF version flies like the built up kit then it will be a good flier. I too am interested in the Revolution engine for my Spitfire. Hope they start shipping them soon!! BobH.
