Awesome explanation James. I really appreciate it. Heres a few pics. Unfortunately I had some of the grey peel when I was removing the masking tape. But hey it's my first one I had to apply the water slides too. So I dont mind. I also have started the rudder mod. I'm just waiting on the control rod to come from motion rc and she will be good to go. This is a great forum for beginners like myself.5 Photos

Awesome great idea with the foam. I'm flying the xk a600 at the min. Such a fun little plane. I did kinda jump in the deep end buying the f9f panther 64mm edf and the flight line p51 but I haven't tried to fly them yet. Still learning a lit from the a600. I've also got the xk k124 mini chopper for learning the chopper controls. It's going very well. But I think I'm a plane person.

Sorry for the somewhat off-topic post but...
I just ordered and received my new "Old Crow" P-51D and would like to read folk's comments about this larger bird. However, the MRC product page seems to have a dead link to an "official" HobbySquack thread.
Is there an official thread for the 'Freewing P-51D HP "Old Crow" 1410mm (55") Wingspan - PNP' here?

This is my Flightline 850 mm, P-51 D, Mustang, repaired and hand repainted, altough, not historically correct.
This bird is my second RC plane, and my first Warbird, really, really fast on 4s!
He and I didnt get along from the start.
Me being a novice pilot, not accustomed to hand launch, had this baby crashed 4 times, on the total of 6 flights.
Half broken wing 2x, nose ruptured and split open 2x, 5 props broken, many minor damages to the foam.
But practice makes perfection, and Beacon glue, foam filler, Tamiya paints and Hobby coat for protection, makes this baby
more awesome then out of the box!

Ercoupe Welcome to Hobby Squawk, and happy belated birthday! Our Mustang can fly just fine on 3s batteries. We designed both the Mustang and Fw-190 Dora to fly on either 3s or 4s. 4s gives you more power, 3s gives you easier hand launch.
When flying on 3s, you'll want a higher throttle setting during launch compared to the 4s. For 3s, power to full, underhand toss at 45 degrees straight ahead, and keeps the wing level as the model accelerates for the first 2-3 seconds.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Hi Alpha, and thank you. I understand about the 3 an 4 cell. But what I would like to know is, will 2200 mah 3 cell be too heavy? I know they recommend an 1600mah. The 2200 3 cell is about 30 grams heavier. Will that be a problem? I'd hate to have to go out abd buy batteries if I don't need to.
