  1. 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!!
  2. 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.
  3. Hey guys! Long time no speak etc... What size and kv will the mossie motors be ideally?
  4. Any of those the latest version, or all the v1?
  5. Is this a plastic model? Looks incredible!
  6. 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!

  8. 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
  9. I toyed with the idea of doing the P51 from Top Gun: Maverick...
  10. Long time no speak folks. I am thinking I should finally get into the P51 build too. Got some catch-up reading to do!!
  11. Johns wings look better though 😆
  12. 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?
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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!
  17. 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
  18. Did this maiden? Bit late to the party, but I was searching through RBC kits threads!
  19. 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.
  20. 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!
  21. Just found this thread, in contact with Ron on FB messaging! These do look amazing, so have placed an order.
