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

Another thing that I have noticed with mine is to let the tail stay up as long as possible instead of pulling the tail to the ground right away. It doesn't want to ground loop until the tail wheel is...

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

I would recheck your balance it sounds like you have a nose heavy plane to me. I am flying mine with a slight nose down balance and I am using a 1/4" up and a 1/4" down (1/2" total) on my throws and...

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

I have used these before and this is what I did. I first used them without anything and it didn't take long to start getting worn and having lots of play on the axle. I purchased brass tubing that...

The Xoar 22-10 works well for me also a Menz 21-12 works really good on it. You get more speed with the 21-12

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

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

Yes was able to keep it in but I made my own muffler which is what I do most of the time. I don't have access to a TIG (welding aluminum) so I just use thin walled square and round steel tubing and...

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

Fabio the pic I pictured is of the G62 installed. I molded the cowl into the fuse and then cut it to make a removeable chin. The chin is cut just below the exhaust then cut straight down at the...

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

I took out the ZDZ when I decided to strip the ARF and when I was done had decided to install a G62. At the time when the ZDZ was installed it weighed 20# exactly and was clocked at 100mph with just...

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

Doomking how about the ZDZ 40RE. It is rear carb and rear exhaust (just like the Revo 50) so it fits in narrow cowls withough a problem and has about the same power as the Revo 50. Mine never had a...

RE: Scale cockpit - Wow

I had wanted to go gas for a while and hated the mess glow was leaving on this plane. Now with gas it takes me all of 10 seconds to clean plus I fly this plane a lot and buying glow fuel all the time...

RE: Scale cockpit - Wow

Before I put the ZDZ40 in mine I had a MDS 2.18 which is a Moki 2.10 copy. I used a Bisson inverted pitts muffler but found that the cowl would not fit. I ended up cutting the muffler and having it...

RE: Scale cockpit - Wow

My ZDZ is actually the sport model so it has the exhaust on the side. It has good performance and is above scale. You can also use the ZDZ 50 it has the same footprint. It was a clean install with...
