Hi all,

I have a Bud Nosen P-51 kit NIB but somewhere over the years the building instructions have vanished. I have the plans but I'm hoping that someone out there might take pity on me and be willing to share a copy of the building instructions.

I'm kind of expecting the instructions to say "glue together all of the balsa in the box and then carve away everything that doesn't look like a P-51"

Other than beefing up the structure to handle something in the 80cc range are there other issues that I should watch out for in this build? What are the recomended retracts for this plane? Any direction and help would be greatly appreciated. I know that it is not the most true to scale outline and I'm not planning on competing in any scale events - I just want to build a big brother to my TF giant scale P-47 and the Balsa USA Dr1.

Regards,

Gordon Wilhelm
