P51.. who makes it???


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Found this little gem for $20.. no plans on flying it. Probably just going to put it on display in my boys room.. spent the day cleaning it from 40 years of Pigion poop and barn dust! 37” wingspan, all balsa and no plastic parts. Lines have been removed and there’s no accessible way to add new ones. Will post in the wanted, but if anyone has a trash .10-.15 engine that I could stick in for display let me know.. also need a canopy. Thanks!

Re: P51.. who makes it???

Not sure how much you're willing to spend, but I have this Fox 15 I got from a friend I cleaned up and ran on the test stand last year. Actually ran pretty good, excepting the lack of muffler made it noisy.

As an aside, that seems to have the correct offset rudder. I got an early Cox Corsair that did not and the lack of it made the first flight also its last.

would hate to waste a good motor for display purposes.. hoping for something bound for the trash.. will wait a bit and see if something comes up. If not, I might go as much as $20 plus shipping. Thanks!
