I'm very proud of you for rebuilding instead of trashing it. you did an excellent job. I have had the same P-51 PTS for 2 yrs and have fixed the same fuse damage as yours 2 times, and nose crunches 2 times.... still flies great. I just don't have the heart to let such a great plane die! I now have retracts in it and a 4 stroke. I love that plane! keep it alive and keep flying!
YAKCRASHER:(good your peice of shit can fly again) Well... maybe for you its a piece of shit but for him its more than a toy... i bought a lot of fuselages because i didnt know how to fix an airplane now i spend time doing it and having fun with it its part of the hobby... well done Cratz1
I actually prefer fixing planes to building them -- it's more of a challenge and usually takes less time. Most of my planes have been "fixed", some of them several times :-)
This model comes as RTF or ARF, so initial assembly is pretty basic. It's built well, with lots of plywood pieces, and every little piece fits like a glove. When things break, it's usually the joints that break, so I find that repairing is normally just reglueing joints.
damng!!!! that was a terrible crash dude, when you got this problem again (short place to stop) try to send ruder to the left and alerions to the right, this make plane put a wing on the ground and some times its very usefull to make it stop, for emergency situations, try it on simulator.
stupid fence!

I did the same thing, but i hit our car port. I completely stripped it and rebuilt it and covered it, now I keep breaking the landing gear.
