I have just finished building my 60 size blue nose mustang, I test flew it on tuesday and it was brilliant. Good luck with your maiden flight.

Robzki Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm considering my first heli flight tomorrow. had it sitting here for a year now and too worried I'll have an off but decided at the beginning of the week to go for it. Just a few bunny hops will make me happy. 3rd owner and noones had the guts to fly it yet still all new 'cept ran the engine in with a few tanks and practiced and practiced with a sim Would luuurve a decent plane, but £6k....... geezus. now I'm not so worried about smashing up a few hundred quids worth great models lui at 33% have you pondered getting a midget to sit in it? they must be around 1/3 full size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Maiden flight when a dream today can't get enough of it real show stopper looks like full size when flying about the sky What the power like with the 50cc petrol? I went for the saito 125 4 stroke in my hanger 9 mustang, I thought of putting the saito fg 20 petrol in there but was told it would give the same performance despite it being the same 20.52cc. I should imagine with those huge control surfaces it is rather responsive? Does it prop hang very well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 any links where to buy mate:D Gaz if your interested i have a T-rex 500 electric super pro.
