MODEL AIRPLANE P51 RACE PLANE
By: 660magnum Date: April 9, 2013, 1:44 am
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a 1:4.5 scale model of the Galloping Ghost P51 Unlimited
Racer. It is aluminum, fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, birch, and
poplar plywood.
The engine is a multi cylinder four cycle engine made in
Germany. This video is in SE Germany near the Austrian Border.
It has extraordinary sound.
This first Video is just starting it up.

The second video is a fast fly by flight video. A good deal of
the noise you hear is of the prop.

You guys that like to work on chainsaws would just love the Kolm
four stroke engines.
This one is 235cc, four cylinder

The Mustang. This airplane, due to its high performance, would
require considerable piloting skills for it pretty much has the
performance of a turbine powered model airplane.

That part of South Eastern Germany with the farm fields looks
like North Western, Ohio. Some of the videos with the ski slope
hills were made in SW Austria.
I was flying my 10cc four stroke plane at the local airport and
my friend had a 50cc Echo powered plane. Another local UAV pilot
friend showed up with his UAV friend from Phoenix that had a
200cc four cylinder USA made two stroke engine in a 1/3 scale 3D
plane. My immediate impression was that the runway we were using
and the available free space wasn't large enough to safely fly
this plane without being a threat to the full size planes and
the local neighbors.

These USA made two strokes are the most popular engines used at
the flying field behind cut4fun's house. The smaller ones are
more popular like the 50 and 60cc singles and second are the
smaller twins. I say US made but I think the cylinders and
ignitions are sourced elsewhere.

I have seen the 1/4 scale and thought they were pretty big so
1/3 scale I can only imagine how large they are and how much
room they do take to fly and land.
I still like the way that P-51 sounds when flying. When
making a flyby it sounds so much like the real deal of a full
scale plane.
Very interesting.

A lot of the sound you are hearing with that P-51 is the prop
and the fact that he is keeping the throttle full open on most
of those passes.
As far as room needed for 1/3 scale, it depends somewhat on the
plane and how the pilot flies. The flying field behind cut4fun's
house is nowhere as big as the runway area at the local airport
on the west side of the town where I live but at cut4fun's house
there is no airport with full size planes flying close by and
the closest house is 1/2 mile away. The runway at the model
flying field is only 300' long but with over runs and clear back
of the trees. It used to been a skeet shooting area and was
timbered out around 10 years ago.
