Blue Nose P-51 2nd Flight 129 MPH Speed

Hi Everyone
In this video I take the Hangar 9 mustang up for its 2nd flight and do speed runs, as the Garmin is installed. It's a big model and as you can see it's hard really to tell how fast she is because of the distance out from the camera. I can tell you that she is moving, 129 MPH out of her. I know, I had no idea she was this fast but with that Saito FG-20 installed it moves with some authority, wow! I 'm very happy and pleased with this model for a 60 size bird it truly is the best in its class.. Thanks for viewing and commenting on all of the videos here on TinkerManRC.

Its shocking how fast our planes are traveling. I once put a gps in a Carl Goldberg Cub and it topped out at 101mph with a os 70 four stroke. I think people underestimate the speed of our planes.

Thanks for that, I've waited to maiden mine as there were alot of issues with this plane regarding the proper cg with complimentary videos of the aftermath , I have seen alot of videos of these flying along just fine and then out of the blue for no apparent reason the plane snaps into an unrecoverable death spiral

Mr T.M, did you have any issues breaking in or running your fg125? Horizon Hobby had quite a few neg comments regarding the engine. Just doing homework, it's a nice chunk of change. Thank you for your comments!!
