    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Well, a little progress this weekend on the big Don Smith Mustang. I started "truing" up the wing saddle and test fitting the center section of the wing to the fuse. Fits ok, but definitely needed some sanding on the three formers that make up the wing saddle cradle. But I think I have it pretty...

    Well your flying skills would be right on track out here. But ya know...I met a real sweet girl not far from you David. Suzanne is in Granite Falls N.C. Not even implying anything yet. But wouldn't it be really freaking cool if I were to move down south where the weather is warmer, the fields...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    This is actually a little work I accomplished this past weekend. I finally have the bottom of the main center section sheeted. In the process of sizing and fitting the gear doors. This is going to be plenty of thought provoking work. LOL.... Oh well, got nothing else rattling around upstairs...

    Thank you Mike. I am very sorry I have been away for so long. I really just have been so burnt out and then getting sick did not make anything easier. But I am determined to get this Mustang done this year. Hopefully before Sept. I have a Meister Scale P-47 on the way and would really love to...

    Hello Gentlemen, Well, my 2022 flying season opener was an awesome one. My awesome son suggested we take the four cylinder beasts out and get the year started right. Well, ok....I am down. The weather was absolutely amazing for February. We had nearly 50 degrees, 0-3 mph winds, Bright blue skies...

    A little more work on the big Mustang. The last couple of days between holidays and work has slowed me a bit. But still making progress. I have been mulling over in my head ways to secure the outer wing panels to the center section for flight. There are actually a couple of methods I've seen...

    Yeah, tell me about it brother. I started cutting the excessive fatty foods, extra helpings and meals...between meals back on Sept. 21st. I figured with the way this year has been going, I could at least attempt to end it on a positive note. So, here I am down 43 pounds with 20-25 to go. I have...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    That's the thought Snoopy.... See what I am thinking.... Hitec has a really great "Micro" servo that would work great for this. The "D89MW" is a high voltage, metal geared servo that delivers 118 in. oz of torque. It is 1.14" (29mm) x .51" (13mm) x 1.18" (30mm) This is more than sufficient for...
