    Scale Plans built P-51

    I've had many nights that I've spent staring and measuring trying to get something straight.

    LOL, only in Ohio.

    One of the FOGs in my club has had one for years that has never flown. I think he's scared to death of it.

    What are you going to build in 2015?

    I really like the "Take Pride" right over the wheels on the truck. It's kind of ironic in a picture like that.

    DA 50 Fuel Tank Size?

    Scale Plans built P-51

    Sub'd I do love those warbirds. And you'll find this place much friendlier than others. There are a lot of great builders and great advice. You can make some pretty curvy shapes with planking. Check out my build thread, the fuse is all planked and full of curves. The pictures start on page 4...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Agreed, I've seen one vibrate 2 bolts completely out, one most of the way out and the last one loose. It was being flown by my long time flying buddy and I was standing right next to him when it started making odd noises when maneuvering hard. We both thought the header had broken again, but...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Real Flight 7.5...

    IMAC practice tips for new pilots.

    I've always been of the opinion that as long as you know it you doing the talking it's fine. That's what I tell myself anyway. At least I think it's me talking........hmmmm.

    Thanks for hosting Terry I like your field. I had a blast trying to knock down the garden gnomes with knife edge passes down the runway!

    Whale Blubber, what additional additives?

    It was nasty. And if you ever burned one up the smell got even worse.

    What Happened here?

    I was expecting to hear "Here, hold my beer" any minute. It lasted much longer than I would have thought.
