I still LOVE this plane! I suped mine up a little to get more speed. Put a 2200mah lipo in it after a canopy mod, and it flies like its on rails. Doesn't get buffeted around in the wind anymore. Awesome fun foamie :))

@maccanaut Yep, she's a classic for sure!

Whats the distance range for a 2.4 ghz?

[briguy99]

@loh1110 Most likely up to a couple of km. For this model, it will likely be out of sight before control is lost.

Hi there got my p51 today but it seems real nose heavy and snapped a prop on takeoff so I have to Hand launch did you have this problem

[briguy99]

@TheUpflip It's not nose heavy (aerodynamically speaking) but the scale landing gear isn't far forward enough. Works on full sized, but not as well on a model. You can bend them forwards a little to help, but in general I found that it works best (and looks best in the air) as a hand launcher. If you have a very smooth surface the landing gear works fine.

This is a beautiful looking airplane.Ive had mine for several years now.The only problem with this plane is that the CG is too close too the main landing gear making it easy to tip during landing.

But it does fly great and it has plenty of power.

@maccanaut Mine has the same specs. Check out my flight video of this model and you'll see the vertical performance. It's just not set up for speed.

[maccanaut]

@briguy99 mines from Hobbyking and has:

Length: 840mm

WingSpan: 960mm

Prop: 1060x4

Weight: 500g

Motor: DAT-700 Brushless outrunner 700kv

ESC: 20A brushless

Battery: 11.1v 1300mAh 3S1P (Not included)

Servos: 9g x 4

i dont know if ur motor is different but i doubt mine will have unlimited vertical climb. Its weak. Dont get me wrong.....i love this plane. I knew about all of its weaknesses and faults beforehand from forums etc. But i would like more power in it.

[briguy99]

@maccanaut It's definitely NOT underpowered, it has unlimited vertical. But it isn't fast with the stock setup - the motor / prop is setup for thrust, not speed.
