P51-D Mustang main landing gear
Hi there, I am in the process of building a pica 1/5 P51-D Mustang. I am getting close to installing the main landing gear. I am needing to find out the degree of the angle of the landing gear - if you know what I mean? Not too sure how to explain it! I also need to know the distance from the centre of the plane to the each landing gear when down. Any tips or advice or photos on this would be much appreciated.

RE: FiberClassics P-51 now Comp-ARF P-51
The problem with the tailwheel is that I don't have one! I emailed Aerotech to get one off them but they only supply it with the kit now. And I emailed Sierra Giant and have had no response. I'm going to try and ring them. I have ordered my mains from Robart and awaiting delivery. Do you know of any other suppliers for a scale tailwheel? Or a contact for Sierra Giant? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, I've been through this thread and the work you all have done on your mustangs is amazing. So much so that I have made a start on my 1/5 pica P51-D Mustang. I just hit 40 hours. I have ordered the main retracts from Robart but am in need of a tail wheel. I have emailed Sierra Giant a few times but have had no response. Any help would be much appreciated. I will upload some photos of my progress in due course.
