Hangar 9 P-51 Blue Nose Maiden Flight

[wheelsdown1]

Maidened my Blue nose yesterday, eflite power 110 on 8 cells turning a 2 blade 17x 10. I have to say that after the H9 spit this is a peach to fly and land. Mounted the CG about 0.5 inch forward of the recommended, so what I got was a gentle drift earthwards on finals and greaser landings every time. Shame H9 didnt put this much thought into the spit! Love the four blader, how much power loss do you think you get compared to your stock 2 blade?

[TinkerManRC]

@wheelsdown1 Great info thanks for sharing not sure on the power loss but it flys slower. Thanks for visiting and commenting..Tim

[yankphan100]

I see you like your models modified!! Power 32 in the eflite Pitts and now a power 110 in the mustang !! Does it call for a power 90 ad a mod for this plane rather than a power 60 ? Is there any mod to get the power 110 mounted or is it bolt on ....

[TinkerManRC]

@yankphan100 it call for power 60 but since I was going to run a 4 bladed prop I went with the power 110 to turn it..Thanks for the great comment.

nice plane great maiden. I have a p51 foam with a 57" wingspan. Himax motor on 4000 mah 40c 3s I get 12 min flight time with great vertical using 12x8 prop. Gas engines are a thing of the past for me.

[TinkerManRC]

@stout111 Hi thats Fantastic and great information thanks for sharing..

[annonymoususerme]

I've been leaning towards this one for my next airplane, so I really enjoyed your build and maiden videos. Nice flying!

[TinkerManRC]

@annonymoususerme Hi If you do deside to get this model you will really enjoy it. thanks for the kind words and comment..Tim

[ljevans4]

EXCELLENT choice of music! My grandma was a teenager in Englad through WW2 and she loved Glenn Miller. I got into his music as a kid too and he's the main reason I started saxophone when I was 10. Nice flying too!

[TinkerManRC]

@ljevans4  Hi Thanks for the very kind words and awesome comment glad you liked it..

[YourFriendlyMe]

which is better the gas or electric version?

[TinkerManRC]

@YourFriendlyMe Hi

Great question. Is a matter of choice on which way you want to go, there are pro's and con's to both. I myself like tha gas.. Longer flight times and the sound,, ..Thanks Tim

[YourFriendlyMe]

@TinkerManRC is thier any changes in flight characteristics?

[TinkerManRC]

@YourFriendlyMe Not really just the Gas has a little more power and during take off the electric motor can really add torque to the tail where the gas is smoother..Tim
