| added a few panel lines on tail, wing and nose, ready to fly now, balanced perfectly w.o. additional weight - the spinner is a Carl Goldberg "snap-on" 1 3/4" and the wheeles areDu-Bro 1 1/2" Mini Lite - next update will be after first flight |

| Thanks for the feedback guys, there is something about the P51, and although challenging in chrome monocote it is a very nice finish for this particular plane. If I were to do it again I would likely sheet the fuse with 1/32 balsa to make the job of covering far easier. Yes David :-) just as I finished ironing on the insignia I checked to see which side it -should- have been on... Oops. The AUW is 300 gr. with 800mAh 2C - the rest of the details are covered in other photos. I hope it is a flyer poppy ! |

| Tremendous. I believe sunglasses are required while flying this bird. |

| Droid, actually, that might be a bit of a concern actually, I bet it will be very difficult to see up there in the sky. Good luck with the maiden flight, and do let us know how it goes! |
