I added 8 grams to my P-51 and did some test flights…but 5 grams more? ![]() Thinking to cut down weight downsize the body (top half…maybe lessen the canopy size). Any ideas? If impossible, direction will change and this thread will be deleted. Instead, I will just make some jets. Not my cup of tea but want to make an RC plane out of CF :p ![]() Anyone have links to buy a 30 mm EDF airframe? |
