András, you are right, I checked the measurement and there is a difference of 1 mm, therefore it is 5 tenths per side, which, I do not think it will be a problem if you want to install it, perhaps the screw will enter a little more deviated, but then it will go to its correct place when it is tightened....I had to see what happens....anyway, it is nice to know that one or the other motor can go there!....I did not expect that!, however , the star there is the Cox .010...!

Re: Another Cox .010 converted to R/C & P-51 Mustang. (Flight page 5)
ohhh i made a mistake!
As a matter of experience a few days ago I installed the rear of the Micro P-51 in the wrong place, when I saw the photos I realized my mistake!, so...
What would you do? Would you leave it where it is or would you change its place?
In my opinion, I think it will work better where it is, but YOUR opinion interests me, thank you!!!

Re: Another Cox .010 converted to R/C & P-51 Mustang. (Flight page 5)
60 years ago, they had a term called, "FLYING SCALE". This meant that overall, the model was to scale, but certain changes were made so it could fly better. These included enlarging the rudder and elevator size, increasing wing dihedral, and other minor changes.
I'd say that although the tail wheel would not be in its scale location, a move to the rear to make it handle better is in the same spirit of FLYING SCALE. You are not working toward a historically accurate model, just one that can be recognized as a P-51. So far, everyone who looks at it says, "Sí, yo veo un avión P-51 ahí." Eso es más importante, ¿no? That is more important, no?

I agree with George. It will be easily recognizable as a Mustang; the vast majority of folks will never notice the difference; the longer tailwheel moment should help with tracking. Leave it and build on!
Re: Another Cox .010 converted to R/C & P-51 Mustang. (Flight page 5)
okay guys!, we close there!, it stays as it is now!
I liked your point of view and comments!
Thank you!!!

Mauricio, what amount of fuel was burnt in the engines? 10 ccm? Also, you must have used a large prop on the 020..my 020 spins the stock 3" 3 bladed prop at near 24k..

Very nice Mauricio
Great pic, how much does it weigh as shown?
What is the combined weight of the RC components?
The TD .010 looks scaled in with the plane size.

Thanks for the feedback!
David, you've hit the nail on the head! Actually, it should be coated with visible colors, so that the model is totally identifiable in flight, easy to interpret during maneuvers and from a distance, especially because it's like you say, it has to be easy to see. , now, the issue is that the color of the Mustang, in general, is metallic aluminum with other agreed colors, so I am deciding what to do, exactly what I am going to do.... in short, I have to decide.
The chrome metal color would go wonderfully, but it is a color that reflects the sun, making it look like a flash or spark in the sky according to how the sun strikes it....well....I have chosen a decoration in particular, but I still think so for the above reasons expressed here!.

András, the amount of fuel in the test is 12 ccm.
The prop I used in the test is the 2-blade 4.5 x 2 gray thimble Drome (hard)

Thank you very much friend!


The weight of the model (frame) + Cox .010 rc + rx + fuel tank + 3 micro servos + 1S battery + propeller + landing gear + ignition key + cockpit = 121 grams = 4.26815 ounces.
what do you think??

Mauricio, both color schemes are nice...I would go for the black and red though, because this is much simpler to do, then the tiger-striped one..but I know that nothing is impossible for you!!
