FT Mustang

[DazDaMan]

I'm about to start working on my very first FT Mustang.

Is there anything I should look out for?

I'm planning on converting it to a P-51C instead of building the more common D-model.

 

[Mr Man]

The Wing Joining can be tricky.

 

[Mr Man]

Did you ever figure out how to convert it to the C/B model?

 

[DazDaMan]

I haven't made an actual start to building the Mustang yet, but I'm planning on making a couple of formers similar to the Spitfire (or my Mustang-based Me109) to form the shape.

 

[Mr Man]

Ok, cool!

 

[DazDaMan]

Something like this....

I had to ask because I’m currently working on an ft Mustang with a bomb drop.

 

[DazDaMan]

Ah, I see.

Yeah, a couple of formers in the back, like the Spit, but more rounded on the top.

Cool! I already finished my mustang, so no b/c model for now. Maybe later.

Here are some pics.

That looks good. I probably won't start my Mustang until early next year.

The drop mechanism is an old drone parachute.

I didn’t know if I should start a new thread?
Or just post my pictures here
I started building the Flitetest Mustang last night
I got the fuselage complete!
It looks like it’s been in a train wreck
I have a much greater appreciation for you guys who can build these things and make them look good too !

Mine is for combat
It doesn’t have to be pretty

I just need it to fly
and Hopefully straight!

[CRASH 22]

At least it looks straight!!

 

[Mr Man]

Lookin’ good! I’ve built 2, both flew great 👍

 

[CRASH 22]

Finished the wing
Joined it to the fuselage

Ready for paint!

My second (spitfire was first) FT warbird and pry my favorite. Even have a 200% and a twin (f-82) in my hanger. Great flyer. I do a easy mod to make it a top loader.
