Aros, the wheels look outstanding and that IS one big Mustang. Best, LB

More small tidbits…

Builder buddy sent me a couple pics showing the mounting of the motor and the nice scale tolerance of the spinner to the cowl. Now the issue is seeing if the Beila 22x10” 4-blade prop I bought from a guy on RCG will work with the spinner and hub I bought from GatorRC.

The 4 blade prop that came with the spinner and hub from GatorRC is nowhere near scale for a P-51D so I went fishin’ online. Hopefully it works. He will let me know tomorrow.

More when there’s more!

Whoa, that's a lot of really big forward thrust industrial sized equipment.

I like it.

Nope,

I believe in Frat house rule N^o. 1: Ya gotta dance with the one that brung ya.

Your "Blondie" is big, bold and beautiful.

Me thinks she'll be rock solid and joy to check ride.

Enviously, LB

[Aros]

Your words to God's ears brother!

The Biela 24x12x4 prop fits perfectly in the Gator-RC spinner. I'm sure yours will fit, too.

Great to know, thank you!!

[Aros]

The fit is perfect!

[Elbee]

Aros

It is a beautiful thing, that.

[Aros]

Thanks friend. A couple more shots…

[Elbee]

Your "builder" is a h$ll of a craftsman.

[Aros]

I'll be sure to tell him that! Thanks buddy!

[Twowingtj]

Sweeeeet!

[Aros]

Progress has been slowed as my builder buddy has had to order some parts. He did send me some shots of the canopy slide mod. SO glad I will be able to show off that museum-scale cockpit!

The Mustang will be styling
As your canopy will be sliding
The cockpit won't be hiding
You'll be just smiling
Cuz she's so beguiling

A poet amongst us! And for you a Haiku…

I wish to not soil
Myself as she departs the ground
oh heaven help me

[Aros]

Behold! Thy canopy is sliding!

Funny how sometimes it's just the little things in life.

There is always time to celebrate small victories as long as it is now.
