GWS P-51D Mustang
I went into this project skeptical of GWS's ability to produce a good fighter park flyer. After my experience with their Zero, I wasn't to sure, but I decided to give it a go. It had a steerable tail wheel and no crappy cowling like the Zero and Beaver which I hate, but it had the low wing design which requires a perfect COG. Which is hard to obtain when GWS pays a 3 year old Taiwanese kid to translate the instructions. So, in any event the given COG was off, and my plane was mis-balanced. As the saying goes..."A nose heavy plane flies poorly, a tail heavy plane flies once. My plane was of course tail heavy, and could climb worth the cost of its foam elevator. So, the thing fell and crashed, and now is damaged up, but I'm going to try to fix it. The problem lies in the motor which got messed up royally. I lied above, the thing nose dived but whatever. it needs much work.
