P-51 Mustang Flight Video - SN Hobbies

[Doamino41]

This is a beautiful warbird,,, I have one myself.The only problem I have is that the CG is too close to the main landing gear so that makes landing very difficult.Slight resistance during landing can make it tip over.

I talked to a sales rep who told me that this plane is not made for belly landing.I tried it twice and broke two prop blades.Overall its a great plane though if your an intermediate pilot.

[briguy99]

@Doamino41 Yes, the landing gear is an issue. I bent mine forward and that helped a bit. I find that if you fly off of a hard surface, it won't tip over as much but if I'm flying off of grass I'll just hand launch it. I haven't broken any props on the grass.

Woaw your rc plane is incredible. My models for indoor use are not so bad too. See my Youtube Channel !

Hi briguy99, the battery compartment looks a bit small, the specs call for a 1300 mah pack, is there room to fit in a larger pack say 11.1V 1800 possibly 2200 mah?

Thanks

[LieorDie24]

how long can is its battery holding?

[briguy99]

I can easily get 10 minutes per flight.

[LieorDie24]

i want to buy myself one too but it should stay long the battery one with about half an houre do these planes really fly only 10 minutes?

a beautiful flieght from germany

[briguy99]

Thanks!

[Tubemasterspek]

This plane really does fly as great as in the video! great video by the way...

And just for fun, try the p-51 d propeller from parkzone.

It fits without modification on the art tech motor. And flight performance goes up!

More speed more power...

Cheapest upgrade there is.

Wil try to upload a video as soon as the wind dies down..

[briguy99]

It's a great flier for sure! I'm upgrading the motor and putting on some retracts now.  It's a low priority project, but I'll try to get a video up of it later.

great flight :)

[briguy99]

Thanks!

hey there .... i have never flew a plane but i fly rc helicopters for a while now and fairly familiar with four ch transmitters ... do you think this plane is good for me ? i have to say im in love with it !!!! and you are a pro pilot buddy ... cheers

[briguy99]

Well, it's made out of foam so it'll be easy to repair when you crash! If you absolutely can't wait to get proficient on a trainer first, this model is pretty easy to fly. Keep in mind that it is difficult to take-off, land and taxi simply because of the scale landing gear. It hand launches fairly well however.

[kaveh1983361]

hi ... thanks for the tips mate ... actually im pretty good on simulator(FMS) ... does it help ???

[briguy99]

It all helps... ;)

[mxf7010g8k]

so how do you not break the prop on grass landings?

[briguy99]

It's fairly flexible. I recently did a belly landing on the dirt of a baseball diamond - I could see the blades flexing as it slid along! It does come with a spare prop, I've broken on but that was due to a minor crash.

[mxf7010g8k]

if you have the ability i would change the info on the site or tell them to. it says 3 servos. i kknow it made me think twice : )

[briguy99]

I see where you got that from. The Yak has only three servos for example, it uses one for both ailerons.

[mxf7010g8k]

yea it says 3 micro servos so im thinking.. WHAT!? lol. i think this may be my next plane : )

[ssrc30]

I absolutely love the way this plane flies. I found that the landing gear isn't much good on grass though.  5/5

[briguy99]

Yeah, I mostly hand-launch it - easy to and the plane looks great without the wheels.

[jimjamjake]

i've just got me one of these, but will have a few more flights with my trainer first. looks alot better without the undercarriage, retracts would be great!

[briguy99]

Yeah, I was thinking retracts too until I flew it. It's a small model and hand launches well so I'm not going to bother.

[jimjamjake]

good flying great camera work

[braaivleis2003]

congrats on the maiden.Super flight, i might be getting one of these as my next plane, Already have the parkzone spit, and this one looks so good.Cant wait. So youre happy with your purchase?.cheers

[briguy99]

Very happy with this one. Looks great, flies great.

[youtwoba]

Great Plane! great flying, great camera man! 4/5 no retracts or flaps :0) like mine of course! keep up the good work man!

[briguy99]

Thanks! I haven't worked out the helmet cam like yours. There may be a retract option in the future.

[sslusshy]

Nice plane! Really scale looking. I love that prop. I have Balsa one or I would of got this one. Mine has to much power lol! It flys good on half throttle though. 5*

[briguy99]

Yeah, I was impressed with the scale appearance of this plane, plus it flies so well!
