RE: OS 120 AX Problem ?
HI, The 120 comes with a pitts muffler ? Mine didn't . The standard (stock) muffler isn't a pitts muffler ...............Is it ? Rockerman, I notice your set up is not inverted. ( I think that the sidewinder set up is one of the best going, but unfortunately I cannot employ this .) I can't think of any reason why the side mount muffler works better that the inverted one , but apparently it does. ?! I know that the side mount motor has less problem with flooding at the start but otherwise ?? I am starting to think that the option of a petrol ( gas ) motor might be the way to go with their pumped carbys. Thanks for all your suggestions, M.M.

RE: OS 120 AX Problem ?
Hi, Thank you for your replies. I wonder why the muffler manufactures don't include these considerations in their product(s) ? Is it just the 120 AX that presents these problems? Thanks M.M.

OS 120 AX Problem ?
Hi, I've had trouble in the past with an OS 120 AX . I bought a Slimline inverted Pitts style muffler and could not get it to work properly with this engine. It had numerous problems including little response to the needle valve position to overheating , poor starting etc. I abandoned trying to use this muffler and got excellent performance from the stock muffler. Have any others experienced this situation ? I now want to try to use a Pitts Style again and wonder if there are any that have had success with this set up ?? Cheers, M,M,

RE: ESM/YT P51d
Hi, Looking good Nudger ! I have those ESM retracts and was wondering what you used to round them off. They do look much better that way. Thanks, cheers, Merlin Man.

RE: NEW H9 P51 Mustang 60 ARF
Why not get the ESM P51?. It's better than the Hanger 9 one in my opinion. Cheers Merlin Man.

RE: WORLD MODELS 80.5 P-51 MUSTANG GS
Hi, I am impressed with the better look of your P51 with the H9 canopy. I's amazing how such a small change can transform the overall look of the plane. Well done on the weathering and general finish too. I would like to see some more photos of your model if possible, THANKS, Merlin Man.

RE: do all warbirds need extra nose weight
Hi, I have built many P51's of various sizes and none have required nose weight. In fact the Platt 1/5 scale needed me to arrange batteries and servos towards the rear to avoid having to add tailweight. The Spitfires I have built ,on the other hand, all required noseweight. Cheers, Merlin Man.

RE: Black Horse 120 Spitfire
Hi, I don't know anything about this particular model, but I must agree with SJN . It 's more like a toy plane than a model spitfire. Blackhorse have been making some quite good models recently but this is not one of them. Just my opinion. Cheers, M.M.

RE: Need Help deciding please...
Hi, The Spinner was a Thunder Tiger . They make 2 or 3 shapes for the size needed and I choose the most pointed one . The pilots were the 1/5 scale Aces of Iron busts which have to be painted .I will include some photos of the full size so you can have alook .

Hi, I also scrapped the supplied pilots in favour of more scale ones. These are Aces of Iron 1/5 scale ones from the US. Mine has an OS 120 AX and has heaps of power . Cheers, Merlin Man.
