    Need an ID

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a used P51. I believe it's a 1400mm, but there is no indication of who manufactured it. It has a red rudder and it's named Shangrila. Does anyone have an ID on this plane?

    Measure wingtip to wingtip, if it's 55in it's a 1400mm if 57in it's 1450mm. Need more pictures to know for sure. Airfield or FMS? R.

      It's the BlitzRCworks plane sold by Banana Hobby.

        If it's 57" wingspan it's FMS:

          Good catch, I didn't see where FMS made one in this livery.

            Take a look at the FMS plane, it has some kind of air screen looking thing under the mock exhaust stacks, the Blitz plane does not. The OP's picture does not show this so I'm sticking with the Blitz version.

                        I think it's a Blitz, from what I see.

                                Does it have retracts and also better to take a pic of the whole plane

                                  There was one P-51 that had a sound system in it from the factory, I will look for the brand.
