RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I bought the Dave brown spinner and I think it looks fine. Although I did not go into a lot of detail with the airplane. Knowing that I am not the best pilot and this is my first mustang I knew the...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Putting a 2-stoke in it I figured I would have to add nose weight to it but it turned out I needed 3 oz in the tail. It was also a little right side heavy so I just added all the weight to the left...
