Mike Zellar's Top Flite P-51 is powered by a Zenoah G-45 which does very nicely. Robart retracts, Full cockpit, glassed and painted with Chevron perfect paints. The really neat thing about this plane I think is that I modeled it after the full scale "Glamorous Gal". I changed the name from Gal to Gail to honor my lovely wife who puts up with me and this hobby for past 10 years with a smile no less. The nose art you see is actually of her.
