    Scale Plans built P-51

    Thanks, guys. It's a lot of work, but also great therapy! If I could get more than just a 30 minutes here and there to work on it, I could make a little better progress. But, work, family, and life in general takes precedent over model airplanes - or at least it should :))

    Scale Plans built P-51

    Thanks! After I took the pics, I spent a little time working on the front sheeting. I should finish that this week. Next step is to install the wing mounting structure. The last "build" part of this project are the flaps and ailerons. That won't take long, just tedious. I've been putting...

    IMAC hobby getting expensive

    Some great comments that I mostly agree with. In our quest to bring the cost down, we've driven some LHS's out of business. I'm as guilty as anyone. I was a member of RCU before it changed hands the first time, back before paypal, and outrageaous shipping costs. We had to buy RC stuff using...

    Thanks. I started working on it again because I wanted to cycle my electric retracts. The leads aren't long enough to reach the controller. ahhh! Oh,well. one at a time is better than nothing.

    Reza has been here for a week and he's already giving stuff away! RED LINE OIL!

    Hope it works out better than that! Sleeping in your car is no fun unless your at a giant scale event sponsored by the Swedish Bikini Team. I wouldn't know about that first hand, just trying to be encouraging.

    You guys are great. I had no idea what the problem was. Live and learn!

    Scale Plans built P-51

    I spent most of the afternoon working on the installation of the retracts. I've seen so many giant scale warbird landing gear fail on a rough landing. My intention is to make sure that if the landing gear fails, so did a whole bunch of other stuff. I got my receiver working thanks to some of...

    Hey, Bunky: If it weren't for my consistency, I'd be really embarrassed. Hitec servos will plug into a JR receiver either way. Why is it when we have a 50-50 chance of getting something right we get it wrong 90% of the time??

    I didn't realize how badly misaligned this part was until I was taking pictures for this thread. Not only did I have to cut it off and start over, I had to figure out and measure the proper angle and the right distance from the rear spar.

    Thanks! I'll post a pic that shows why some of it has taken so much time.

    Thanks. After I couldn't get it to work, I put it back in the box while I was working on the P-51 project. Now it's time to install the receiver and try again to get it to work. I'll follow everyone's advice and I'll post my results.
