I hate to bother these guys as I didn't purchase the radio from them. I have, however purchased SEVERAL replacement parts from them for that dang Mustang!

RE: FMS P51 Crash

I have experienced the signal loss on a parkzone p51bl twice changed the receiver with another stock receiver and never had another problem with it. The holes on the bottom of the fuse are there to allow air flow out through the plane I cut them in all my planes that don't have them from the factory. It's better to not lose one because of heating issues than have a perfect looking smooth bottom. I've also had similar issues with one tactic receiver changed it to another identical one and no more problem. I have about 15 park flyers all on basic 6 channel park flyer receivers either spectrum or tactic. For the price low price we are paying for these planes and parts an occasional failure is part of the deal. I'm sure it doesn't feel better at the time but after stepping back and looking at what we are doing for the cost involved it's still worth it.

Yeah your right the airflow is probably it. I just remember seeing that warning to not use park flyer receives in larger model planes etc. etc. and the experience my friend kept having. But, as I recall he actually started using spectrum 7 and 8 channel receivers with satellites so that would make a big difference as well. I know guys who are using the lemon and the "spectrum" orange in some really nice gas planes and have never had a single problem. I just don't have the guts to put one in my larger planes lol.

They are good guys that I think truly want to help everyone to have a good experience in this hobbie. I don't think they will mind helping you as much as they can.

RE: FMS P51 Crash

Well, the transmitter was sent in yesterday. Today I ordered a replacement fuselage, scoop, oil tanks, and a BEC. I intend to solder up a y-harness to take juice from the battery to feed the BEC and the ESC. I don't see anything like that on the market, so please let me know if I'm approaching this the right way? I also ordered an isolation cable so that I no longer power the receiver from the ESC.
