Here is a Guillows North American P-51 Mustang free flight model that I built
while living in Colorado Springs, Colorado, back in 1994. The P-51 Mustang has been a hangar
queen, hanging on a wall for its entire 13-14 years. Its covering has turned brittle and the
canopy has yellowed. Somewhere in our many household moves the propeller and spinner
disappeared.
I have a plan to re-cover the P-51 Mustang, and in the process, install a
radio control system that comes from an Estes Sky Rangers 2-channel airplane. It uses an
electromagnetic actuator on the rudder, as shown in the pictures below. After a few flights
on the Estes Sky Ranger, then rudder actuator coil and magnet and the receiver will be
removed. The LiPo battery will be way more than is needed to power just the rudder, so a
couple coin cells will probably be used instead.
 Wingspan: 27.75"
