I've gone ahead and added a 6mm shim made of silicone sheet to the rear mounting plate on the undercarriage. It certainly seems to have raked things forward. Last time I tried to take off at my field it kept on nosing over, and I don't think we've ever managed to land without nosing over as it comes to a stop. Let's see how this works out...

Thank you chaps, very informative. Paul offered to make me up a set, but given my spitfire wing is still in really tip top condition, I might just attempt to rake the U/C forward a bit with some shims of some kind. If/when the U/C plates break, I'll see about retrofitting.

Is there any way of "fixing" the original built up wing to help prevent nose-overs? My spitfire really has that tendency and I would love to make it a bit friendlier for taxiing and take-off!

That's a full size A400?

I've not been following along too closely, I didn't realise that Richard would be offering motors too. I'll try to get back up to date! In the meantime my P51-D is progressing ok, only 4 years later than most!!

Reason I asked is that I saw this bargain, but the KV is definitely going to be a bit high: https://www.3dxr.co.uk/multirotor-c3/multirotor-motors-c35/3dxr-sunnysky-x2820-kv1100-pair-p3427 £21 for a pair of 3542 sized motors seems outstanding.

Hey guys! Long time no speak etc... What size and kv will the mossie motors be ideally?

Incredible!

I trust Jon's experience.

Any of those the latest version, or all the v1?

Is this a plastic model? Looks incredible!

Yep, I'm gonna start mine - next week. Trouble is I am running out of space to store planes. I have some crash damaged ones which if I was more hard nosed, I'd sacrifice, but I know with a little bit of TLC I can get them back to their former glory!

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...
