Hi Mike welcome to Hobby Squawk!
Would love to help...What exactly is the problem? Have you set the model up based on the manufacturer's recommendations as far as rates/throws/CG?My YouTube RC videos:

Hey Window Man, welcome to Hobby Squawk! You'll find the group here eager to help. Let us know what your settings are and we can start from there. Since you're flying the Opterra, I want to clarify that you created a new model in your radio and set the Wing Type correctly. For the P-51, you want single elevator, normal tail.
Once your radio settings are correct, we can evaluate if your battery is in the correct position and your hand launch sequence is correct (throttle, launch speed and launch angle, etc).
Don't worry, you'll be flying safely soon.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Hi Window Man, you shouldn't have any mixes in this model. Create a New Model, select Model Type, select Airplane. For Wing Type, select 1 AIL.
Also, for your rates, double-check if you're using positive expo or negative expo. With Spektrum radios like your DX6i, you want positive values, not negative values. Also, your expo is far too high. I strongly recommend trying high/mid/low expo in the range of 40/30/25. The way expo works, an expo value of greater than +50 can make a model like this feel very jumpy. Some like it, but most pilots fly in the +20 to +35 range, give or take 5.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Took my FL Mustang to the ocean last week...LOVED the ocean air and wide open space! Had a great flight. Unfortunately I forgot the proper XT60 adapter for the charger so I was only able to get one flight in but it was awesome.
