RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

No not yet we got more snow the other day way to cold. But I did get to put up a new Hanger 9 P-47 ARF last Saturday I tossed together for a budy and I'm sure the Mustang will fly just as good. But...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

All your trying to do here is sand the TE end of the ribs to a round groove they (stick out a little) so the flap will mate to it better. So a dowel works great I used some coper pipe and my Dremel...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Ticketec,
You're on the right track for sure here I would never put one aileron servo in such a sweet plane. It just deserves much better than that I like to keep mine around for a while as I’m...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Yep you need a flat tapered head screw they work just great it needs to be about a half inch long. Don't tighten them to tight or the plastic mount will crack. Just snug is best and they...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build
