FMS P51 Mustang

this model is pure joy to fly its a pleasure every time

continues to impress me everytime I fly it nothing to criticise all good flying much admired very tempted to fly today but felt to windy and flew well yesterday

the last time out as I dived down to make a pass the was a big bang and lost power.I landed fine.The spinner which the prop blades are attached to had failed and lost one blade and a chunk including the spinner itself .the motor mount was very looseand had parted from the fuselage.Problem is its in a sealed part of the fuselage.Its not in the correct position being offset by some margin but cannot at the moment figure out why as you would think its turned but doesnt appear to be loose enough to realign.at present the only solution might be to cut the front off bit drastic

still unable to figure out whats happened to this one the motor mount is in the completely wrong place but wont move so the motor sits half inch right and half inch to low very confusing

Ive purchased a new fuselage but they have changed the way the engine mount fits into the fuselage looks a much better design so im waiting for a new mount to arrive so I can get this one back in the air

Maybe for curiosity you could chop the other open to see what went wrong. : :huh:

yes I may do that

the new motor mount arrived theyve brought the motor mount on the fuselage forward and its more securelyu glued in much better design hoping to bring the model in from the cold shed over the weekend and rebuild it onto the new fuselage
