RE: Aero Works P-51?
Hi Again is been awhile. Question for the gurus.. When I setup the flaps do I have to mix in some elevator? I hear people do this to keep it from balloning.. Thanks Bill

RE: Aero Works P-51?
Hey Zeeb, been there done that. I don't know about the ARF version back on my ARC version I took off the pins from the hinges, remove the doors and hone the holes with a bit bigger drill bit. Re-install the pins and voila.. Bill

RE: Aero Works P-51?
I had a similar problem with the scoop and the flaps. see post #883 and #885. I trimmed the flap a bit and I had to fill under the scoop so it will line up with the rest of the fuse. Mine was an ARC version. Cheers

RE: Aero Works P-51?
I thought those exhausts were tested for performance. If they starve the engine of rpm's don't you think that Kelvin would of said something. I got mine for the DLE55. The engine is not mounted on the fuse yet should I be worried? Cheers

RE: Aeroworks P-51D ARC built
The travel is only 2 3/4" and is a screw type. The thing I like about those actuators is that when they reach the end of the travel and find some resistance they stop. Others you need a sequenser to do that. My all means feel free to post here if there's a way to share tips, tricks and how too's it will be great. Like I said before the 51 is on ice right now as I am working on multirotor systems. see here: http://www.wimac.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=3757 Today I'm going to test fly my coaxial rotor system and see how she behaves. Have a good day. Bill

RE: Aeroworks P-51D ARC built
No Leroy the kit didn't come with an air cylinder slide. But I have my self an actuator from Lado electric and it has a 70mmshaft (see picture) I think I might be able to make some kind of a setup and make it work. The graphics I got from Callie Graphics. I've been dealing with her for a few years now. Excellent job and to scale also prices are awesome. Keep posting those photos doing a great job. Bill

RE: Aeroworks P-51D ARC built
Maybe so Leroy, but don't forget the two coats of epoxy I sanded them down so most of it came off. Are you going to use two blade prop or four? I was going to do the compartment for the electronics in front also but then I would have to add weight in the tail to balance. Nice looking bird. Can you post details of how you are going to do the sliding canopy? Thanks Bill

RE: Aeroworks P-51D ARC built
Thanks Leroy for your comments. I use Xoar 22x10 for now. I will be using a 4 blade prop to fly, 20" with a variable pitch. I read your thread very interesting in deed. I use a syringe needle and cut the tip off, for bigger rivets I use the tip of a soldering iron. My wings were covered with fiberglass clothe and two coats of epoxy, then primed and sand, sand, sand, and sand some more. The covering is from Flite-Metal, thin aluminum with adhesive backing. Right now the project is on hold for a while as I am doing other projects like UAV's multirotors. It gets boring after awhile so I need a change. When I get back on her I will post some more info. Cheers

RE: Aero Works P-51?
Thanks Jimmy. I am really getting discouraged. I started this project back in June, and everyhting went wrong. I got the ARC kit, parts were missing and AW send them to me. Now I need a cowl and no stock, a wing bag, no stock they don't know when they will be in stock again. Just have to wait I guess. My gear is back to D&L for repair ( my fault) waiting for decals, exhaust is coming and so is winter. Have to wait till spring to test it out. I mounted the scoop yersteday, I used some bondo to fill the gap and it seems to work, as long as it wont come off in flight. here's a photo. Cheers

RE: Aero Works P-51?
Hi, I am trying to put my 51 together for allingment. It seems that the radiator scoop don't fit right. I got the ARC version. The wings are fitted in the fuse and bolted down. The scoop wont align properly. When I position the scoop flat on the wing the back end lifts up, when I line up the back end the front lifts up. Does anyone had that problem? Thanks see pics. Bill

[quote]ORIGINAL: n8622t [quote]ORIGINAL: Zorba1 Neet, is it the same size as the D ? It looks like it has a 4 blade prop, does it come with it?

I love it[:D] It will be sweet[;)] [/quote] I agree with you, but if I already have the "D" why spend another K or 2 for the "B". Unless AW plans on coming out

RE: Aero Works P-51?
Hi Guys is been quite around here latelly. I have a question. I am setting up the electronics on my 51. When I setup the flaps do I apply any elevator input? I know on my Cessna 310 I had to add a bit of elevator or else she would baloon up. I am using the Aurora 9 channel. Thanks in advance Bill

Thanks for leting us know about your issue with the doors. I am changing mine to servos to operate the hatch doors, no air in the system at all. I had my gear converted to electric by D&L. I will post the details of the conversion of the doors in a couple of days. Cheers

RE: Aeroworks P-51D ARC built
Well decided to take a brake from doing the rivets. Is a PITA but it has to get done since I started it. Oh-oh These rivets are done one by one with a hyperdermic needle. Did some painting of the cowl and the spinner. More to come. My gear is shipped and so is the prop. The exhaust will take 4 weeks been a custom job Cheers
