RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Eric, I used Hitec HS-5625 MG digital servos on ailerons and elevators. Hitec HS-5945 MG digitals on flaps and rudder. A standard Hitec HS-625 MG on the steerable tailwheel and a digital JR DS-821...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

doublebs, Thanks for the compliment! The early Top Flite Giant P-51B kit was hard to find but after looking in the IMAA's classified section I had found my treasure. I like both the P-51B and the D...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Well here are some pictures of my kit built TF giant P-51B. It has been a long haul and a lot of work. These pics do not have the ZDZ 60 installed yet but it has been fitted so the cowl is cut to...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Glad you guys have a sense of humor. I like to poke fun now and then but it seems now days someone is always getting offended. I always attend the Toledo Expo and marvel at the building skills of...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Frank, Sorry for squeezing your brain! Just look at the pictures. I think the pictures tell all anyways. This is not my first Giant P-51. Yes..they fly just like a pattern ship IF you have enough...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

FBaity, Thanks for the compliment. I got tired of looking at ugly hinges and most had too much slop in the hingepins. Some 1/32"thick x 3/4"wide K/S flat brass stock along with some 1/16" or 3/32"...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

rayjr, Here are some pics of my Sierra install. They are nothing fancy since I am building my P-51 to be a sport everyday flyer. I don't want it to be oogled at on the ground. I want jaws to drop and...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

rayjr, I don't mean to gloat but I will anyways! There is absolutely no comparison between the Sierra and Robart retracts. Either in materials, craftsmanship, strength, or support from the maker. You...

Who sells a decent set of 75 gallon drop tanks for a 1/5th Scale P-51 besides Aerotech?

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Cancel your order for the Robart retracts and buy a set of Sierra Precision retracts. They will arrive in 4 days! More money but you get your dollars worth. He also sells the Aerotech scale P-51...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Frank, Alabama is a long way off for me to "get off my porch"! I may bark but do not worry I do not bite. Put another "kill" marking on your P-51 for me. Thanks for the invitation. Best Regards!

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

First things first. Your P-51 is not a "unlimited 3D" model. It is a warbird and is not intended for a 3D flight envelope. The Zenoah G-45 is a good engine. So is the Moki/Mark 2.10. Personally I...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

The ZDZ 60 is twice the engine that your Fuji 64 is. I have ran the Fuji 50 EI and found it to be a real boat anchor. The ZDZ's are very strong and start easily. I am not a ZDZ "pusher" but you will...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Iraiam, You will really like the ZDZ 60. It will haul the mail with a 23 x 10 Menz S or NX prop. You could use a 24 x 8 but I think you will want the 10" pitch for speed. You will really be able to...

RE: top flite p-51 giant scale build

Let me make one thing perfectly clear. I NEVER said or implied that operating a model engine of any size is not dangerous on a test stand or on the model. Speedy ;)
