Official FlightLine 1600mm P-51D Mustang Thread

What is an estimated flight time with the Admiral 5000mAh 6S 22.2V 50C LiPo Battery shown in the P-51 ad?

[Aros]

The perfect practice model for my Top RC Model P-51!

I'm not a EFlite fan (I consider them exorbitantly priced) though I had, I think six of the FMS 1450 Mustangs. Did that $600 include a receiver?

Looks like it did @$580. The Spektrum AR637TA 6-Channel Receiver is about a $100 receiver so not really comparable in price either.

[WDivCV61]

Considering the E-Flite 1.5 Mustang was pushing $600 at the end of its availability I can't get too excited about this one's price especially considering it has more features, and is biggerrr..and looks more scale. To me anyway.

[Evan D]

$660 is more than kind of high when the very similar Spitfire which was $349 when released is now only $469. 41% more.

[WDivCV61]

Yeah for the price the Quick Drop Actuators should've come with imho. I ordered one. Love me some planes with functional gimmicks.

[Randy H]

Another P51 just what we need. Its a beautiful model but how about some adversaries such as a ME109G or a Zero? Cost is also kind of high but then everything is going up.

[f4u ausie]

Trouble some me again... The motion video says a 340 kv but the freewing says 390 get with the program . Which is it. Lol. Ones for spit and 1 for f4u

[f4u ausie]

Thanx guys

[Evan D]

It was a retrofit canopy that had much better visibility.

I've had a quick look. What is or was a Malcolm hood. I think was retro fitted in England for European conditions in the early p51???

Craig: here is a link to some info on the Malcolm hood: http://www.aerofiles.com/malcolm-hood.html

jetfool,

Yes, I, too, can see a "B" hiding in there from way over here.

Best, LB

I can just see a Malcolm hood from here, too!

Well it is about time. Was always going to be expensive. However looks. Good. I'm sure to to get one just not right now

[jetfool]

Elbee,
Expensive yes, but this could be a start of a great P-51B malcom hood project that I think you could well accomplish and we would all enjoy watching.
Best Regards, Rex

So we released the plane- showcased the droppable tanks, but can’t get the plane with the droppable tanks….

[davegee]

I'd prefer it less expensive, but since I retired my E Flite P-51Ds, I could see getting this one. I like the droppables, the scale landing light, and the lighted machine guns, just for fun.

As a hopeless scale geek, I like they have it painted in the basic color of the famous 357th FG out of Yoxford England. I would probably choose Nooky Booky that was flown by "Kit" Carson, one of the stalwart aces in this unit along with the likes of Chuck Yeager and several others.

[Evan D]

It's exactly what I want but the price is nuts.

[Elbee]

Aros

Well y'all have done it again.

Looking forward to the reviews on this one.

Best, LB
