Yes, I guess it doesn't really matter if they're supposed to be 85 or not when doing sport scale, which as you say, 90 degrees is plenty good enough! Gotta wait for the "D" canopy, but I might order the plans soon.

I always thought that a Mustang needed 85 degree retracts due to the wing dihedral.

Yeah, come on you two, build so I can steal ideas!

62.5 Inch Tony Nijhuis Spitfire Build Log.
Craig Ward replied to GrahamC's topic in Tony Nijhuis plan builders
If you read your post before mine, you will see that you indeed started the debate by inferring how superior the over revving ic engines were over electric. This hobby does not need anybody claiming how much better their power source is over another. And no, the details aren't shaken off by landing and taking off. -

To say lipos won't last 10-20 years is not a fair comparison. You're trying to compare the life span of an ic motor to a battery! The battery is the fuel, and dollar for dollar you get more flights per battery than you do for a gallon of fuel. Also, in my opinion, electric is better for scale. Less vibration to shake details loose, doesn't have to be built like a tank to withstand said virations. Also, there is no way in the world that a little 2 stroke, or 4 stroke engine sounds anything like the Merlin engines, not even close. There are hundreds of very, large, powerful models being powered by electric. You can't beat an electric motor for pure torque either. -
Heh, where are the photos of her all painted up? Now Tony has to design a 60" Me 109E!

Yafreakinhoo!

I think I'll just stick to buying the plans from Tony himself!

Given how the magazine plans always seem to have errors in the, I'll wait and order the plan for this, the Hurri, the 62" Spitty , the Tiffie and the 190 at the same time, to save shipping over to the colonies!

Wow, I asked Tony, when will there be a Mustang in the size range of the Hurricane last year and look, here it is! Gee I must be all powerful. Gonna be a pain though. I've got a Model Tech P-51 ARC to build, Mike Roach's lightweight Mustang to build, a Brian Taylor Mustang to build and now this.
