She`s a beauty, Mrotar!

I went down to the LHS and bought a gallon of 10% nitro. It was the lowest they had. But so far I have flown the P-51 a half a dozen times with no more cutting out. It does tend to load up during...

Thanks for the tips, guys. Yeah, Donny, the idea really doesn`t appeal to me either, despite what they always say in the instruction books. We`re supposed to get the lead OUT, right?

I haven`t flown it yet. Way nose heavy. donnyman said on #67 that he had to fly his sans muffler because it was too nose heavy. I don`t want to do that, so will have to put some weight in the tail.

It`s a 3 oz. bottle of DAP with a little round fuzzy applicator on the end of a wand attached to the cap. It was thin enough so an even coat was pretty easy over the whole thing. I let it get tacky,...
