Thank you very much for the information. The more I watch videos of this thing the more I want to fly it! I know once I show this to my five year old I’m doomed and will get sucked into the vortex of rc planes. He asked for a plane for Christmas but I kind of steered him into asking for a truck! Now this thing came along and I’m in a pickle. Sell it before he sees it and avoid the rabbit hole or bite the bullet and drop the money to get everything else needed to learn to fly it. Pricing on these huge lipo batteries, charger and receiver is pretty crazy. I can just imagine dropping $500 for everything to crash it on my first attempt. Either way, thanks for the help!

If this is your very first RC plane, your chances of crashing it in the first 10 seconds after take off is very high. Any war bird of this size and type can be a handful and is not the kind of plane to learn on. A typical LiPo battery for it will be ~$100.00 each. A cheap charger, another hundred. You won't need a RX. It already has one. You will need a transmitter. That will cost a couple hundred. The prop, prop holder/backing plate and spinner, likely another $50.00+ You can get all these prices on the Horizon Hobby site.
Just to give you an idea of what you might get for this plane, I just sold mine less than a month ago. It was 3 seasons old, never crashed, in perfect condition. I only sell to friends and I don't take advantage of my friends. I sold it to him for 1/2 retail. On the open market, I could have gotten 2/3 retail. Used RC models don't hold their value that well, especially if it's been damaged/repaired or missing something or have something that doesn't work.
Best place to post this up for sale is your local Kijiji under the RC section. Watch out for scammers.

Take the battery hatch top or whatever is easiest to Ace or Lowes , Home Depot and get them to scan the color. I have several sample cans that I've scanned over the years and will never run out of paint. Its not available in gloss, most if not all of mine are satin then I use Minwax Spar Urethane (water based) to add gloss.

first time i saw this was on a 20# zirroli corsair with g-62 for power, and folding wings. because of the folding wings i had a y coming out of the rx and 2
ext in each side of the gull. first time i had ailerons that did not respond to controls i pulled at the connections and worked them each 6 times. buttoned it up
and everything worked. dirty contacts are a paint, i solved it with a soldering iron, one servo lead from rx y, never had the problem again.

Hadn't taken my total redo of the LOU IV E Flite P-51D out for a workout for some time, being that it has been hanging up in my garage for a while. Usually, I do a thorough checkout in my shop before taking it out to the field, especially if I haven't flown it for a while, but just had a good feeling about today's flights. I'm happy to report that after a stand down for a month or more, it flew just beautifully in almost equally perfect weather. I did notice that I had a tendency to overcontrol it a bit at first, especially in the roll axis, until I calmed down and got back in the groove again with it. For takeoffs, I use high rates on the rudder, and ease in the throttle and a LOT of right rudder to make it track straight down the runway.
It's a rock-steady and super performer when flown in a scale manner. Replacing the stock wheels with 3.5" Robarts tires and wheels has made a huge difference in ground tracking and eliminating bounces on landings. If I ever get another one someday, I'll do the exact same mods on it. I'd be repainting it to another paint scheme, but I can think that over if I ever go ahead with the project. Great plane!
Cheers

Thanks,
I just checked the MOTION RC website, and they show ten (10) packages of two apiece 3.5 inch tires and wheels with the WWII diamond tread on them. I have used these tires with much success on my Flightline Corsair and two E Flite P-51s, and I would recommend using those if you can order a couple for your model. I don't think you'll be disappointed using these over the stock hard tires.
Good Luck!
