My Great Planes P-51

My

I have always wanted to have a P-51. I bought this one at the auction at Celina in 1996. This plane was already purchased when I arrived at the show. A vendor had bought it before it opened to the public for $50. When I saw it I had to have it. He sold it to me for $70.00. I think that I got a good deal since the kit costs that much and this one was well built. It is a very nice P-51 if you ask me. It is done with invasion stripes with a yellow nose and wingtips. There was only one problem, no retracts. I will probably install some after I get real comfortable with the landings. Since I don't have the engine yet I haven't flown this aircraft, but I have heard that it flies great with the 4-stroke 70.
