Title: A wee little mustang...
Post by: rob.thomson on December 01, 2013, 10:44:14 PM
I have had an idea....

A little camera... On a pan servo...  On top of a foamy mustang.

While I am at it I will sup up then power up front. 

Think it will work?

The P51 is a great aircraft and flies like it's on rails.  With camera a bit higher it will be an awesome platform - go for it.

Agreed!


Just have to wait for the motor and servos to arrive from China!

It has a very large prop, so I expect a 2 cell, with slow but good thrust.

Will you be fitting a 3 blade prop?

Probably just a 2 blade.

No reason other than that's what came with it!

Here is a photo showing the view out the front.

I think I need to add some cockpit detailing :)

The mustang is ready to fly.

All I need now is to not be baby sitting!
