The last gas powered models I flew were .60 size P-51s. The markings were similar to the model that Herzeleid built (nice job btw!). But we put strips of florescent tape on the leading edges of the wings so we could pick them out against the mountains - especially when coming in to land.
One was destroyed when I came up short on landing (I was used to .40 sized models and misjudged the distance). The other was lost in a nasty ground loop. But they did fly and track just like the real thing.
I have an electric J3 out in the garage that I need to get flying again. At least here in TN, nobody would give a rats ass where I fly, as long as it isn't into somebodies face. Hehe
I'd like to see a video of one flying with a bandana or mask around the front fuselage.
Might work on a P-38 or de Havilland Mosquito. But on a P-51, not so much.
Why can't the part that is blue on the model be a bandana?
