Sorry, couldn't help posting that when I saw it. At least I didn't put it in the Mayhem post, which was my first thought, then my brain turned back on for a second. We must have all had one of these as a kid at one time or another.Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

Looks great! Nice mod to get the correct tail.I've finished two E Flite P-51Ds. The first one I did fly some, but I've decided to donate it to the Bottisham Air Field Museum in England where the plane and unit was based in WWII. The second plane I hope to maiden as soon as the snow melts in the next couple of weeks.
I did a total repaint and added cockpit details and other stuff from the stock offering from EFlite that has a blue camo pattern based on an airplane that has been on the airshow circuit in the past. This makeover is a replica of the plane that 361st Fighter Group CO Thomas "Jack" Christian, Jr flew. He was killed in this plane leading a bombing run on a rail yard in France in August 1944. I made it as a tribute to him and this fighter group.Comment

Thanks, Vduniec! I gave a lot of thought to cutting into the foam tail to try to make the earlier version (P-51D-5-NA) that Col. Christian flew for a short time before his death in August of 1944 on that mission. It's totally doable, and my second EFlite P-51 that I still have to maiden was easier to do the mod than the first one.
There are several early model P-51Ds that were flown by famous pilots without that triangular fairing and I think those interested in going all out to make this foamie closer to the real ones for a total repaint should not be dissuaded from doing the conversion. If anyone is thinking of doing this tail mod, if they have any questions beforehand, I am more than happy to respond to them.
Happy Flying!Comment

Hello James
Something I am involved in over here in the UK is the promotion of scale RC Helicopters. We have doing a lot of work with British Model Flying Association. While I was unable to be online to participate live as planned with this Zoom Meet. I was heavily involved in the production. It will be of interest to those involved with scale helicopters and those wishing to getting into this very exciting arm of model flying.

James I hope to see some of the this stuff hit the live show soon? I have something you will love coming up! .a "gray nurse" Spitfire but for now how about a nice Cub I am building!Every week we do a community segment where we share the best stuff we find from the RC community on Squawk, YouTube and Facebook etc, but if you want to, just drop your stuff here. Our live shows also start with a 5 minute waiting period where we love to show off a community member flying, driving, sailing etc.
Share anything Motion RC related with us and we'd be happy for it to appear on a Live Show!Comment
