The base is a 4x4x(3/4)" plywood. If I had it to do over again, I would not have put on the outer uprights and would have spread the center uprights a little further apart (to better hold the twins). I wasn't thinking about twins when I made the rack.---

I'm with you Ryan, we all had such a great time last year, lets just hope the wind is slightly less!!
Anyone who hasn't been to AMA headquarters, there is a heavenly glow and Angels singing as you first see it. The airplanes will start to jump because they, in the foamy world, realize they're about to enter Model R/C Airplane Heaven. And it really is.
It's like the biggest most perfect golf course, but with runways!!

Finally got to open the P-38 in silver that my wife got me for Christmas. Man what a beautiful bird! Now I've got to get that GeeBee E finished that's on the bench for repairs and get started on this one. Wife also got me the high performance motor set up and I just ordered the new landing gear set. I haven't decided if I'm going to put the high performance motors in or not. I really like the 3 blade props.
Is anybody else running the faster motors?

This thread has been quiet lately. Everyone must be playing with their new toys.
Just ordered my graphics from Callie for # 133, "Irish Angel" from the same Satan's Angels squadron, so won't have to make any major scheme changes. It also happens to be a fitting tribute to my wife who got me this great bird.

New to the this forum and not a heavy poster on others. When my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas, it was a toss-up between the P-38 or the 1700mm Corsair. After much consideration, I chose this one. I have reviewed all 131 pages on this forum and quite a few on the RCG forum and I have come away with some questions prior to beginning to assemble my Allied Green P-38.
1. Receivers: Any recommendations? All of my current planes have Spektrum stuff in them so I'm familiar with that brand. How about AS3X. Do I need it? I have some planes with and some without.
2. Batteries: Of all my planes & heli's, none are 4 cell so I will be in the market for new batteries. I read a mix of anywhere from 2500mAh to 3600maAh. What are the advantages to the lower v upper range in mAh?
3. I want to paint invasion stripes on the bottom of the wings. Can anyone tell me what the width of the stripes should be on this place. Is the width the same on the fuselage.
4. I plan to buy the FL gear set-up as it appears they are a huge upgrade from stock.
Thanks in advance for the help. There is a wealth of information here from those that joined the P-38 club early. I look forward to getting mine in the air.
