Pica Enterprises 1/5th scale P-51D Mustang

Here's some progress shots.  I've been working on it for over 3 weeks now.  Flaps finished.  Just waiting for my retracts to come in so I can mount them, install the servos and drill holes for the air lines.







Power plant:

I'll keep you guys updated.

Nice, very nice...

I LOOOOOOOOOVE the P-51.  She's lookin good so far, keep it up!

That looks good Black_ZR-1...will like to see the finished product.

I have not built a model I bet in thirty years but I am told there is some type of spray that you put on the balsa wood to keep it from going brittle over the years.
Perhaps it protects the wood from fuel spills as well.

There are several large clubs in this area I just never found the time to get to the meets even though they are only ninety  minutes away.

It is a great hobby and Rifleman has a few aircraft I enjoy looking at as well.

Please keep us posted on your progress

My first thought when I saw the title was this guy is so lying......

That looks like an awesome model! Can't wait to see some pics of it flying.

Lookin' good man!

Are you going to go for realism and performance and put a 4-blade prop on it or use one of the regular two-bladers?

4-blade all the way!

Good... I hate it when people make RC warbirds with two-blade props when they should have 3 or 4 blade props.

Wow!!!!! That's really nice.

I could ask you for help when i'll be making one of my own.

By the way - are you going to have a remote for that?
