My P51D racer Guillows kit#905

[John galt]

this was my second semi-scale attempt. it is actually rubberband powered but is way to heavy to fly...cept off a cliff

















































make 2 2 blade props into 1 4 blade - attempt #2
















Making my own paint stensils out of masking tape on waxed paper.























im not real thrilled about how wide the wing tip white strip is but other than that i really like the finish on this one

Wow! Amazing!

May i ask what you were using for stringers?

[John galt]

Thanks for the compliment


I use carbon fiber rod .060"

I break off the bits I need with pliers, as I got tired of ruining blades trying to cut the stuff. It's not accurate like a blade through balsa, but it gets the job done.

I should also note, ca glue takes longer to dry in a carbon fiber joint, I'm not sure as to the strength of the bond, but it works well for static models.

Nice build.

It looks like some blood went into the assembly.
