Thought I would do a build thread to show everyone
how I go about rebuilding an old airframe.
This is my old Parkzone P51 which has seen better days and
after some very rough treatment I fibreglassed and repainted.
Again she was showing signs of neglect most due
to dreaded torque roll on my hand launches.
This time I'm going to install a set of mechanical retracts that I've
had lying about for over a year.
Also, I'm going to try a couple of new building tecniques that I've been
reading about on various forums.
Ok first up Off with the old paint and fibreglass.

Lots of stuff to come off
[attachment=1420][attachment=1421]
Mustn't forget the cockpit.

As you can see I've got a bit of work to do with the sanding and filling
so stay tuned for the next installment.
