          GEAR: FIXED LANDING GEAR IS NOT INCLUDED
             If you are wanting to used fixed gear use ROBQ1640
             Kit is designed for Robart custom gear. If using other
             gear must contact support for copies of ribs need to be hand cut
             to mount standard retracts.
          Spinner: ZINQ spinners will not fit this model due to their mounting.
The O.S. FF-320 should have plenty of power to fly the Giant P-51. The cylinder
 will protrude through the sides of the cowl. The engine is only a couple of oz
 heavier than an US 41 and shouldn't be a problem.
                 (The 5cyl. radial won't fit in cowl.)
 The ST3250 will work okay in the giant 51 also. Don't expect super
 speed or much vertical performance but will work fine for most
 maneuvers.
