Hello, I'm in the latter stages of completion on my Ron Burns P-51,
1st off, will an Enya .019-VI do the trick? and what is the correct size and placement of the Insignia on the wings and fuselage?
Thanks, Geoff

Geoff:

I don't know the weight of the ENYA.19, so I can't answer directly. The airplane was designed for a light .15 (Norvel). I do have one with an MDS.18.It flies OK, but required a lot of tail weight to keep the CG in the design range.

As to the insignia, the attached photos is correct,except the wing star is upside down (late night,in a hurry,didn't catch it 'til after the photo).

One further note: The inboard, leading edge strakes are primarily just for looks.Secondarily,they delay tip stall, making for easier flying for beginners (the original purpose of the design). For stunting, the airplane flies better without them.
