Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang PTS Mk II with an O.S. 46 AX engine installed

Hangar 9 P-51 Mustang PTS Mk II with an O.S. 46 AX engine installed in place of the Evolution 46 that it came with. A two bladed 11X7 prop replaced the Evo prop. Very nice plane. All trainer stuff is off and servos added for working flaps.

why did you choose the o.s instead of the evolution engine?? i got a sundowner 36 i wanna put in a o.s 46 ax but the manual calls for evolution .46

@panama0202 I had an evolution on the p-51 and it did ok. I have a video on youtube when I still had it on. Everyone kept telling me how much better the o.s. 46AX was and so I tried it. The evolution was a good engine and is considerably cheaper and I still run it on a trainer, but I have to admit the o.s. has noticably more power and transitions better and has been very reliable. Also I can start it by flipping the spinner with my finger tips. Hope this helps.

Wow..how did you managed to get 10 mins of flight?? Did you change the tank?

[dskeigley]

@irshaad57 It still has the original tank. If I'm careful with the throttle I can get 12 - 13 minutes. This flight had almost an empty tank when I brought it in.

I have this plane also, but with an OS55AX 10*8APC and a tuned pipe. Flap servos also. Only problem is I found the receiver starts to do crap at 4.6v and batt included is only 4.8v. So I got a 6v batt and the servos can't handle it. So I ended up buying 7 hitech digital metal gear servos to put in her. I put alot of money in the plane but I couldn't be happier with the results. Check my channel to see my hobbico superstar with a tuned pipe also.

My buddy put the os 46 in his, from the start, but hes thinking about getting an evo now, since mine has outperformed his and always started on a flip or 2

@dskeigley That i will do for sure. Thanks for the advice. I really don't have the money for fixing bad models.

[dskeigley]

@ArcticRc You might want to research the blue nose, I heard reviews of bad glue joints and parts of the plane coming apart in flight.

[ArcticRc]

@dskeigley Thanks for replying. I sure will practice with it but i guess i loose the droops and install servos for flaps just to get the real feeling. In the end i guess i'll buy the bluenoose from hangar 9. Have a nice day mate and again thanks

@ArcticRc I now fly with a two bladed 11X7 prop. I flew it about a year with the evolution engine and the three bladed stock prop and it flew well. I have two of these evolution engines and they both have run very well for me. The O.S. 46 AX and the two bladed prop made quite a difference in performance.
