droid | 22-Mar-09 21:25 | added a few panel lines on tail, wing and nose, ready to fly now, balanced perfectly w.o. additional weight - the spinner is a Carl Goldberg "snap-on" 1 3/4" and the wheeles areDu-Bro 1 1/2" Mini Lite - next update will be after first flight |
David Duckett | 22-Mar-09 21:38 | It's beautiful! I don't want to sound like a grumpy old man but...the stars and bars national insignia goes on the left wing. |
FLYBOYZ | 22-Mar-09 22:22 | Very pertty mustange droid!Hope you continue to give us updates on her!cool! |
Xanadu | 22-Mar-09 23:23 | Gorgeous..... |
jgood | 23-Mar-09 07:09 | Wow, brilliant job! What's the AUW on this one, Droid? |
poppy | 23-Mar-09 10:14 | It is beautiful! And it's a flyer! |
Barnstormer | 23-Mar-09 20:44 | Beautiful job!!!!! |
droid | 24-Mar-09 13:36 | Thanks for the feedback guys, there is something about the P51, and although challenging in chrome monocote it is a very nice finish for this particular plane. If I were to do it again I would likely sheet the fuse with 1/32 balsa to make the job of covering far easier. Yes David :-) just as I finished ironing on the insignia I checked to see which side it -should- have been on... Oops. The AUW is 300 gr. with 800mAh 2C - the rest of the details are covered in other photos. I hope it is a flyer poppy ! |
moostang51 | 24-Mar-09 17:40 | Tremendous. I believe sunglasses are required while flying this bird. |
jgood | 24-Mar-09 20:44 | Droid, actually, that might be a bit of a concern actually, I bet it will be very difficult to see up there in the sky. Good luck with the maiden flight, and do let us know how it goes! |
