Hey guys..
I have been building, flying and crashing foam planes for 3 or 4 years now.
So I decided after I was flying more than crashing I would try Balsa...
I started with a SE5a kit it was on sale for $18 and the build and flights were great.
I found a scratch and dent p51 and ultimate bi-plane arf..
So.. I could not any scratches or dents... but the covering was wrinkled and stained
in a few spots. No big deal I can iron the wrinkles and live with stains..
The one thing I found that didn't look right to me was...
the ailerons seem to be misaligned towards the tip of the wing..
Is this a flaw and should re-align them? They are not glued in place yet.
After looking at the ultimate better I do think that one needs to be fixed
because only one is misaligned.
BUT.. is this in the design of the p51 to change aerodynamics to stop tip stalling
they are both misaligned the same..???
