Update on the P-51 Landing Gear mods - Test Flight

Got a chance to test fly the Mustang yesterday afternoon.  Got in 3 flights taking off on the parking lot.  Two landings were on the grass runway and after a short roll ended in a nose over.  3rd flight I landed on the parking lot and it was picture perfect with a nice roll out and taxi back to where I was standing.  The mod is good for smooth surface but not enough forward pitch for grass.  I think I will try narrower wheels to see if I can reduce the drag the grass creates.

Ready for take off.  Still have not put the LG doors back on.  That will be last if I can figure out how to get a good take off and landing on the grass runway.

This may give you an idea of the grass runway. The story will continue as I look for a way to get this great flying plane to take off and land on the grass.
