Hey all,

I have come to the realization that I am not going to finish my kit. I started it in 2008, and it has been in the rafters of my garage since 2010. Probably a wise decision since I realize...

Wow found this on page 9. Does this mean that everyone here has finished and flown theirs? Mine was put on hiatus as I started working full time late last year.

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

If I recall, MVVS and Evolution engines are nearly identical. It will fit, but might be a bit underpowered. Most of the guys here have gone for the 50-55 cc range. I am cramming a 61 cc engine in...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

I hope you are feeling better Tony. I got the scale exhaust and intake covers from you last year. I am just now getting ready to work on them. But they are absolutely top notch.

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

So it has been a while since anyone has posted anything. Does that mean everyone is busy building or hopefully busy flying? I have made a little progress lately. I fuel proofed the tank compartment,...
