RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

I'M NOT WORTHY!!!

Do all your mustangs stay as light as your first? Are you doing anything to achieve this? I keep reading how everyone ends up over 10-12lbs. I even read one at 14lbs. I...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

...nor would I want it to.

For me it is a game of give and take. Shave weight and add weight when needed. I do not believe lighter is always better. But, with a warbird in this size and...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build

Thank you for the imput. Actually, I was going to mount my ST 90 out the side rather than inverted and in the cowl. My thinking is that as nice as I plan to build it, I know there will be scale...

RE: Top Flite 1/7 P-51 Build
