Great Planes P51 Mustang Review and Flight

Combat-tough and easy to assemble, this 56" span P-51 combines smooth sport flight habits with looks that evoke edge-of-your-seat warbird excitement. Its two-piece, balsa-sheeted foam wing has been covered in MonoKote film, while the detailed cockpit includes an instrument panel, headrest and "ace" pilot figure. Performance is first-rate, too — whether you install glow or electric power!

This is the radio controlled, electric powered plane but can be assembled with a glow engine, almost ready to fly.

[jaymister321]

hay i want to buy this dose this cum ready to fly when i glue it all to geather also dose the gear retract im getting the nitro one

[joehandsome99]

@jaymister321 Some assembly is required, you can read the manual online to see how much and it doesn't come with retracts.

[pitorcas13]

i mean retractable landing gear, is it recomendable?, im already flying this model with a .55 glow engine!!

[joehandsome99]

@pitorcas13 The wings on this model aren't setup for retracts, but it would be a nice addition.

[pitorcas13]

what about landing gear?? is ti possible to install, if using glow engine??

[joehandsome99]

@pitorcas13 It has landing gear on it.

Love the videos and reviews so keep em coming.

I think putting up a banner that has some brand recognition for your channel would be a nice touch especially with that huge back wall you have. I wouldn't go with anything really distracting but a something nice and clean would work wonders.

BEAUTIFUL, DO A GIVEAWAY OF A OLD HELI!!!! I NEED ONE! ALL MY BLADES BROKE :(

[joshuakensiecoker]

can you use 2 2100 lipo bateries instead of 3200 lipo batteries?

[tipman98]

Nice vid!!!!!

[hot4plasma]

Great video! Love the surprise with Candy and your dog! Nice way to end the video.. I smiled and had a laugh! Nice job

[gotwot7573]

Great review and I love the ending out takes! I just ordered mine today, and I have a 4 stroke .52 ready, but it calls out a .70 stroker. Anyone have an opinion about using a .52 4 stroke? Too small?? I'm not looking to tear up the sky.

[MrCessna17292]

I Think this plane is fantastic. I really enjoy it because flys so true. If you add 2 1/2 oz. to tail weight it will fly much better and land so very much slower and smoother as well easier to handle. i.e. ( IT WONT BOUNCE ON LANDING) BTW I use glow with a 46FX O.S. The Plane will go verticle with no problem !!! Great Value.

[rcplaneflyer100]

Could i fly this if I can fly an E-flight extra 260?

[fiatdale]

Great video.  Good job.

[WarMan989]

Its a nice looking mustang, good for the beginner. I'm currently building a P-51 thats gonna weigh around 50 pounds. Its much bigger and better then this little 7 pound thing. Nice airplane though.

[estefano551]
