The balance is what's important Greg. It's a fairly large model by the looks.. but it doesn't look heavy.
![reed speed - REED SPEED 2016 qualifying photos!!! - Page 2 Spitfi10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f21/18/50/45/90/spitfi10.jpg)
After you're finished building/finishing (and controls installed..) check that it's not tail-heavy. It looks as though you plan to fly it in a clockwise rotation. Is that a left-hand prop I see? If you use a "right-hand" prop, it will torque-roll the model away from you.. (

Re: REED SPEED 2016 qualifying photos!!!
I didn't ask for that but that will work >>> I have been working on the P51-D , Almost done lead outs, put fin on , mount engine on other side of beam and fuel set up /// Got in a hurry after finding out yesterday morning my water quit (because my son let his toilet run all night ) all is good for now though after I almost had the hole dug out for checking the foot valve my son told me about that
Thanks Jim , I guess getting started on the plane this later was more HINESIGHT

Looks like it Rusty , if so that stunt tank may give some problems the way it's set up. Are you still in Rusty ?

Re: REED SPEED 2016 qualifying photos!!!
It's for clockwise flying. I dont know why the stunt tank would give problems. I turned the tank 180° and moved the pickup tube to the other side.

The only problem mounting inboard will be tank location and you'll make a heck of a mess with spent castor.getback wrote:

Heck I cant say much after I mounted my engine on the inside of the circle ( by mistake ) wouldn't have been so bad if I wouldn't have use blind nuts, getback

Man! This is good news. I finally had the opportunity to try the Gee Bee Trainer and video it but the engine sputtered through nearly the entire flight (19 laps) with lines measured at 36'-1" and the best speed was only 57.38 mph
