I bought a P40 Canopy from planesrevived and had a good chat with the bloke who seems to be putting extraordinary efforts into creating perfect copies of the topflite kits. I am confident you'd be 100% happy with any purchase from him. Cheers Dave

I toyed with the idea of doing the P51 from Top Gun: Maverick...

Long time no speak folks. I am thinking I should finally get into the P51 build too. Got some catch-up reading to do!!

If this hasn't sold yet, would you accept £80 posted?

Johns wings look better though 😆

I'm wondering whether it's worth using a primer specifically for plastics - like this one perhaps: https://amzn.eu/d/btSb6jf I did my laminate covered planes with a water based acrylic grey primer out of my airbrush and the adhesion just isn't there. Perhaps a different primer would stick like poo to a blanket giving tougher results overall?

I'm so far sticking to the "don't start building another one until the last one is finished. I find it difficult, but I am strict with myself!

I have a hatch under the front too. Since I've smashed the front off the nose, I'm thinking I might adapt the canopy with magnets so that I can drop the battery in whilst the model is sat on its wheels. Regarding power, I ended up buying some 4S1P lithium ion packs which are made up of molicell p45b. It had enough punch to get off the ground (eventually) and I'd easily get 8-10 minute flights.

I crashed mine because I lost orientation and then lost my nerve. I should have stayed calm. I haven't noticed it having any bad stalling characteristics.

I agree, when I built mine it was with increasing awareness that it would be very awkward to maintain or replace. I smashed the nose off so need to rebuild, but the nacelles remained intact!

Echoing everyone else's sentiments on here, I am also hoping you make a full recovery and are able in time to look back upon this as a fading memory. Wishing you a full recovery MattyB

Did this maiden? Bit late to the party, but I was searching through RBC kits threads!

https://www.unmannedtechshop.co.uk/product/gensace-imars-dual-channel-balance-charger/ these have DC and AC and are pretty good. There's a newer version which chucks out 300 AC 700 DC, but not seen it in UK stores.

Received today, it's a beautiful item! I can go blue or red depending upon how decadent I'm feeling. Very happy indeed, thank you @Ron Gray!
