Do you guys mind listing the size of the piano wire that was used for the landing gear in the "Equipment used in this build:" list? Thanks for what you guys are doing for this hobby. It's much appreciated!

.8mm is for pushrods, that's right.
The size for the landing gear that Josh mentioned in the Video was 1/10", so round about 2.5mm

1. The obligatory air-to-air combat
2. Running an obstacle course
3. Possibly a pylon race course
As a baseline, each of the three designs should have the same electronics, since the testing is of the airframe design, not the power systems.
The other two P-51 designs I am referencing were done by Filken and Jason Eric Anderson.

I know the untiled plans are suposed to be just that, but with the difference in paper sizes (letter vs A4) im kinda worried that my printout from the tiled plans might be missing a few bits.
Oh well, no choice but to try it out and report on what the results are.

I should really find someone to print my plans for me... all this experimentation is turning me into a tree-killer.

When I went there, though the answer was "Yes, we can print your file for you. up to an amazing DIN a3 format!"...
Needless to say I gave em a pat on the back and went home with a packet full of pins and a roll of clear tape.

I do this all the time to break the plans up into separate parts. e.g. 4 pages for the wing section, 3 pages for the fuselage, etc.

This means that the upper surface of the wing is a little shorter that the lower, which results in the desired dihedral.
Other designs, like the duster and the simple soarer rely on smaller cuts, then crushing the top surface foam slightly to get to the needed length for the correct angle to form.

Thanks again for the amazing plane.

On the other side I can’t see why the grid lines or other marks on the plans can upset anybody. They are just marks on the plans they are not going to stay on the plane. Anyway I think that there more pros than cons. Let’s make a vote shall we :)

I compared it to this motor below which is recommended:

The max current is lower for the Exceed motor and a hair lighter.

It just continues to roll in either direction after aileron stick is returned to central position , very weird, if rolling left and correct back to right back to level flight it continues to roll right, If rolling right and corected left back to level flight it continues to roll left.
Its not a matter of trim, when I do get it to stablize it flies level but as soon as using the ailerons it does what I described
