RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Just a reminder that the weight of the servos in the wings in total isn't the primary concern by designing the wing with one central servo. It is the moment of inertia of the servo in the tips of the...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Nice job and congratulations on bringing it back for another shot! The P-51 was not a stunt plane originally, and the model....with a similar high wing loading will not be an acrobat. It is a scale...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Yea, I agree...aircraft modelers have been using belcranks for decades, and real planes use pushrods and belcranks. It is of course personal preference, and I didn't want to start a major debate on...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

In concurence, Top Flite has been excellent with me on parts. I had decals that were partially stuck to the plans on their original shipment with the kit. They didn't haggle with me and simply sent...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I don't know what this talk of "condensing a thread" is all about? You mean a thread author can just come in and wipe out everything they deam extraneous? Heck, I hope not! I won't participate on RCU...

Yea...I got to say, I have the static prop too. It looks nice. Don't be getting any silly ideas about flying that prop. It seems these same lessons need going over at least once a decade. Foget about...

Thanks Bacchus (I hope any form of your nickname is fine). You have done a service here for some time, and always well explained and very logical. I don't think I have seen you provide a video...

George that is interesting story! Go get the wing out of the tree! Monokote should have kept it a bit dry? It is amazing what repairs can be done to a balsa model! The fuse looks totally usable, and...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I concur...one of the nicest little TF Mustangs ever, I am guessing. What do you expect for weight Aaron? Seems like it will remain within range. We all look forward to future in-flight footage! -Eric

Hi Bob! I guess what I was emphasizing specifically is not the voltage. That is just the problem! People think a proper voltage reading means they're good. It does NOT mean that. Cycling batteries...
