RE: KMP New Spitfire Mk XIV
Hi everyone, I balanced my Spitfire at 112mm with a touch nose heavy, new robarts retracts and robostruts, I was able to take off 4.5 oz of lead off the front...and it is flying beautifully.

RE: KMP New Spitfire Mk XIV
[quote]ORIGINAL: tevans55 Well I have built a new ESM Spitfire and reused all of the internals from the last plane. To my surprise when it came time to balance the instructions indicate the CG is 120mm from the leading edge. The instructions from the ESM Spitfire last year indicate the CG is at 107mm. That is a big change considering the planes dimensions have not changed. Mine is a little nose heavy at 120mm (good) and a little tail heavy at 107mm (bad). Have any of you guys flown this plane at 120mm CG and what were your results? [/quote] I did see that CG change in the new ESM spitfire manual, I have not tried it yet....... Has anyone tried it? Anyone? Anyone? Please? [&o]

RE: VQ Models Mig 3 Build
Hi all The flying weight is about 5 to 6 lbs, unfortunately the retract are optional, they cost around $29.00 and I think they are good enough for the job. The airplane comes with fixed gear. I must say that this airplane flies excellent, I must say that is my best flying airplane in my hangar, it beats my Hangar 9 P-47 60 size. It is semi-scale so the wings do not look like the scale airplane. I purchased new hardware, and NO, the airplane was not varnished from factory, I did that to fuel proof it. I still have to upload a picture od the finished product, will do that soon..... I am just having lots of fun with this plane. [:D] laters

VQ Models Mig 3 Build
Hello All, I have some pictures of my build, it was a very straight forward build, easy to follow instructions even a newcomer will be able to put it together, instructions recommend a 2 stroke .40 to .46 or a 4 stroke .60 to .70, so I decided on the 4 stroke, an OS .70 Surpass II. With the 4 stroke it was VERY nose heavy so I decided to install the battery plus about an ounce of lead all the way on the back. I made a hatch under the fuselage, I glued some balsa in front of the battery so it would not move forward and there is velcro as well to hold it down...check out the picture. It balanced just a little bit nose heavy, and it flew great. A couple of changes, first I changed the fuel tank to a Hayes 12 oz, the supplied tank looked very small, second I added a couple of spacer blocks under the wing hold-down bolts. It is a very easy model to fly, I am having lots of fun with it, plus because it is not as popular as the rest of the warbirds I am always being asked..."what is this?" [:D]

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**
Hello everyone, I am new to the RC world. Right now I have a F-117 electric dual motors made by airtech(interactive toy concepts) which is a bit hard to fly due to its lack of control surfaces, so to me, this P-51 PTS airplane sounds great, so please keep all the info coming.
