RE: FMS 1450mm P-51B Mustang Thread

Good One Sean!!!
I had to laugh when you made the comment on lining up the wing screws as I had just made the same comment to my wife. Yours went pretty smooth, I fought with the thing, went to bed and then fought for another hour or so before finally getting it in!
Now, I find it very interesting that you got a different sequencer than mine. Mine came with a weird pin bank and some extra plugs. Ended up having to used my P51D as a guide as to what I needed and what was unnecessary.
Don't know where they got this sequencer from, but I don't think its stock!?

You can see the wiring monsterousity sitting on the table, no ones told me what the heck its from. Long story short, I got it to work and the pin bank decorates my spare parts drawer.

RE: FMS 1450mm P-51B Mustang Thread

Wow Grossman that is weird! Wonder what it came out of, definitely not this plane. Glad you were able to get yours together!

RE: FMS 1450mm P-51B Mustang Thread

Definitely a mystery, seems like maybe it was for a multiengine plane or something, and the pin bank is totally beyond me, EDF maybe?
Anyone who can answer this question wins a prize, the pin bank! I'll send it to you!

The sequencer looks the same as mine but that pin bank is way out there :D !

On a side note I see you live in Wyoming, we are almost neighbors! I was thinking (dangerous sometimes) that it might be fun to get as many of the Pilots in our hemisphere who buy and fly MRC equipment together for a fly-in. We can find a central flying field to all interested and meet up there! Really its just another reason to go on a road trip and meet other pilots, but I can think of no other better way to kill a summer weekend. I would be interested in doing a majority of the work to set an event like this up; if there are enough interested pilots!

RE: FMS 1450mm P-51B Mustang Thread

hey sounds good to me, any excuse to fly will do! Don't mind the drive! I'm heading for Wisconsin the week of the 25 of May for a flying course but other than that I'm good, sure some of the others would be too.

RE: FMS 1450mm P-51B Mustang Thread

Well it never fails, get a new plane and it snows for a week! We have got a little quite a bit of snow in my neck of the woods; but it seems like its going to thaw out for this weekend (fingers crossed), which is good my simulator needs a brake. I need to fly!!!!

Mine looked like Seans but weirdly, mine came all prewired.

RE: FMS 1450mm P-51B Mustang Thread

No, but good try though and an interesting video, thanks! Now I wonder what the point was to changing the system? The gear looked like it retracted the same as mine on either Mustang.

Anyway, here's a closer look at what they sent me
Go figure, If Pilot Ryan sees this, give us your opinion.
By the way Sean, where are you?

I'm in Cedar City, Utah waiting for this snow to go away, so I can go fly! We had awesome weather 60+F until I got Snoot's #2, it has done nothing but dumped snow on us since. I'm guessing Murphy was waiting to get me lol. Meanwhile I have probably readjusted my clevises and checked every screw on my Mustang at least twice.

My struts seem to grab a little is anyone using any type of oil to remedy this, I was thinking some white lithium or maybe some 3in1 oil, even thought about getting some graphite, any thoughts?

does that pin bank have 2 rows of pins or 3 rows of pins?
[hr]
maybe its this without the plastic around it?

or this....

Either way it looks to be an early version of the new multi connector we have now.

Yeah I am fairly sure that it is the one that I found on the PWRC website.

Hope to get the maiden flight of Snoot's #2 today, we will see how it goes.
