| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 18-Nov-08 20:01 |  | | Views : 2214 | | Pfalz D.3 Scout (WW-11) is two single sided sheets and was also $7.20 after discount. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 18-Nov-08 19:59 |  | | Views : 2173 | | AMA prints include card stock and decals, though the decal part borders on useless. There were three single sided sheets for the mosquito for a cost of $7.20 (AMA members get a 10% discount). |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 18-Nov-08 19:53 |  | | Views : 2895 | | From time to time there is a discussion of how to get plans for discontinued Guillow's kits. I finally decided to try it out and placed an order with the AMA plans service, 7 days after dropping the form into the mail the plans arrived at my door. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Flying | 14-Nov-08 14:49 |  | | Views : 2039 | | I was operating well within the limits of a quality brand ESC so I was a little disappointed that it failed. My first thought was that I had overloaded the BEC, but it looks to me like at least one of these motor FETs got very hot. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Flying | 14-Nov-08 14:46 |  | | Views : 1142 | | This is what an ESC failure looks like. I had finally got it trimmed out pretty well and was getting a good feel for the controls and was thinking it was time for pictures when the motor shut off and the controls went dead. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Flying | 14-Nov-08 14:44 |  | | Views : 876 | | "Crazy Eddie" was there this morning, perhaps I could talk him into taking a few pictures of the P-51 in flight... |

| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Flying | 14-Nov-08 14:43 |  | | Views : 832 | | Crisp, clear, calm, fall morning, it just doesn't get much better. Today I only brought the P-51 and Aero Star to the field as my focus was on the P-51. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 01-Nov-08 02:34 |  | | Views : 1103 | | The other photo for the "G challenge", this is the cleanest my desk has been all year. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 01-Nov-08 02:32 |  | | Views : 1082 | | One of the pictures submitted for the contest. I am pleased with the results, but next year I really must give myself more time to spend on the details so that I won't feel so rushed. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 31-Oct-08 01:45 |  | | Views : 960 | | Ready for more sanding, sealing, finish sanding, and paint. Hopefully I can get it finished in time and it will look close enough to the real deal. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 30-Oct-08 15:56 |  | | Views : 1024 | | My propeller conundrum - I need a scale prop by the end of the day and have only this 10" prop that can be cut down or I can try to carve something decent in the next few hours. All reasonable suggestions are welcome. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 28-Oct-08 13:28 |  | | Views : 913 | | I also repaired the wing bolt hole by adding a paper tube like is used on the MM Hellcat. I had intended to do this from the start, but got ahead of myself when covering the wing. |
