RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

New question.

Finally admitted it. Need Rudder Gyro for my GS -P51. Flys great, but when you think about all the $ we all have in our projects- landings and takeoffs should always be perfect ,...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

On the Receiver servo side-Flying the same plane with 11 servos. Used...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Good info. Thanks. I'll replace mine with one of these.

The pilot in my P-51 looks small and out of place after investing scale stuff on everything else. Let's face it- when folks look at...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build
