Yet another fine installment my friend! Really liked the ultra-smooth "airshow" style presentation, and yes, this model looks fantastic, even though like you, I don't really care for the blue...much prefer the WWII olive drab camo. You nailed the landing, which is actually hard to do with this model, and Heidi did her usual stellar job on the videography! A very appropriate plane for Memorial Day here in the states. All the best and happy landings from your friend in the Mojave!

@@ModelAV8RChannelMasking was easier to do than I initially thought. Also, I replaced the mains with Robart tires, stock hubs. It requires a little modeling, mainly furring out the oem hub with tape. But it improved the handling tremendously. Touch and goes became very smooth and it helped cut down on ground looping, that might be a psychological benefit for me vs a mechanical benefit though. Great flight! I'm eager to try your CG as well!

@@sanexup1038 Man I am so blessed...Heidi has a Masters in Art Education. She knows how to do all that stuff. I bet the Robarts look great! I think the cg and maybe a softer tail wheel will solve our issues. It tracks ok on the mains, just was having an issue when the tail dropped...also the geotextile is pretty slippery.

Hi Adam Them white wing stripes really pop.... Should imagine Makes Los so much easier plus depth perception... You cut some nice shapes... It must be me but to my thinking n logic that tail wheel is back to front it looks as though the rear gear needs turning round to give a greater distance between it and the main wheels at the moment i5ts got the caricturistics of a FORK LIFT.... GOOD FIGHT👍👍👍👍👍 STAY LUCKY Brian

Adam ...Nice flight and landing...I totally agree the speed and power is more then enough for right out of the box, I like most of the aspects of this 1500mm P-51, not as fast as my 1450mm FMS also on 6S. but has a great presence in the air and flies great when the CG is spot on to the Pilots particular equipment. I fly very little from grass and mostly from asphalt. The tail is very light and hinders ground steering especially in cross wind situations, so besides better placement of the 4000mah I also replaced the stock PU Foam tail wheel with a Du-Bro real rubber version. With it's extra weight it also helps plants the tail end. Not for everyone but it works for me..
@ModelAV8RChannel2 жыл бұрын
Hey Tony thanks man! That is a great idea...the rubber wheels grip way better. To me man this is the plane FMS should have made in all those versions. I remember blowing up a few hubs back when we were all testing 5 and 6s...lol. Great you got something to work (aluminum back plate?)
