Piers Bowlan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 On second thoughts the TSR2 had just two wheels on each bogie. Here. Sorry to go off thread (again!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Nijhuis Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thought the vulcan would tick the box......Im planing to derate the Wren 100 I have fitted down to the eqivalent 75 power and if it works, there is a cheaper turbine option for the model The Vulcan retracts are air but as soon as I can find an electric set.......they'll be used. Your right Danny about the Mustang retracts....!!! had the thicken the leading edge somewhat to accomodate them.....I thought this biuld was going to easy but so many little niggles had to be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Nijhuis Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Moving on Slowly but the moulds are now done (cowl & canopy) and retarcts are sort (all three of them!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Nijhuis Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Now ready to test fly......so hopefully tomorrow all be well I think this is the only model where it came out nose heavy and I had to move the Lipos back on to the CofG line.....and then cut a new hatch Edited By Tony Nijhuis on 11/05/2013 23:33:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The Mustang does have a very long nose Tony, I am fitting a Benedini sound module to a Brian Taylor Mustang and the prelimanary c of g is looking good and that is with a heavy speaker in the radiator, behind the c of g! Your Mustang looks great, and I am sure will fly well, good luck with the maiden Cheers Danny Edited By Danny Fenton on 11/05/2013 23:46:53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Nijhuis Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Well the wind was gusting 25mph and across the Hastings MFC strip and no one was flying so what a great oportunity to test fly the Mustang..........Took of cross wind and was expecting all manner of problems....but couldnt be more wrong......roll out was and take off was was rock steady only a few clicks of down trim and she was hands off....sweet as a nut and rock steady with no twichyness and goes where you point her.........really pleased take off all wheels away landing without flaps...3-pointer!!!!......slowed up fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
