Welcome to the build thread of my Hanger 9 P-51 Mustang 150 ARF.
I thought it would be interesting and hopefully educational for anyone thinking about building a larger scale plane or even help out a first time builder with their project.
I have all but decided on the electronics package and will discuss that in a later post, but just to let the cat out of the bag a little, I have purchased an EFlite Power 160 and will probably be running it on 10S spinning an 18 x 10 2 blade prop.
I will try and remember to keep the posts and photo's coming on a regular basis.
The Airframe specs are:
Wingspan - 2032mm
Length - 1727mm
Wing Area - 70.97 sq dm
Flight Weight - About 8.5 kg
The flight weight of this aircraft will be well over 7 kg's so that means I need a heavy model endorsment for it and myself as the pilot! So I will discuss that as we go through the process.
I picked up the aircraft today and as you would expect, I was like a kid at christmas ...
We will check out whats in the box out next post.
