Thank you so much for uploading this plan. I'm such a fan of these PMA plans :)Hubert - 21/10/2019
Here are some pics of my scratch built model [pics 005-008]. I included a pic of the inside and how I did my servo trays since the plan leaves that up to the builder. Also the air cooler isn't glued to the wing like the plan says. I opted to make it bolt on with the wing due to my battery location which is just behind the cooler piece in a box I made in the former. This allowed me to get the correct c.g. without adding extra weight. I'm using a O.S. .15la which flys perfect in this model. I'm more than happy to share more pics of the build process if you would like.

Hi! Here are some photos of the P-51 Mustang [main pic, 009-012]. I have built a number models from the P-51 plan from Tom Stryker. I have built them for their original purpose, WW2 1:12 Aircombat and I have also competed with them. Changes I have made are:
Engine upside down.
Plastic engine cowling.
Changed wing profile (the original is symmetrical and has no washout).
Balsa covered foam wings.
All changes are not on all my models. For anyone looking to build this model I would highly recommend another wing profile as it makes a huge difference to the performance of the model. I think I used NACA 2410 and about 5 mm washout.
Engine: OS 15LA
Prop: APC 8x4
Servos: Hitec HS 81

Canopy and markings are from SIG, Oracover covering. The Mustang also works well with an electric setup! It is a fun model to build and with the changes I have made I am very happy with them, else I would not have built so many I guess.

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
