Official FlightLine 1600mm P-51D Mustang Thread

FW/ FL has released planes in both green and silver before. That said I doubt they will on this one unless it really really sells well.

I historically liked the silver schemes better thou the silver shows the foam cells more.

Good point. Unfortunately the dark colors are more sensitive to heating if left out in the summer sun sometimes even for a few minutes at my elevation 5-6000 feet MSL, and can cause that awful gatoring in just minutes!

My thought as well. First thing to go would be the green paint. I've had three Mustangs, all silver (one Flite Metal) the 'D's weren't green for very long, the 'B's were more likely to be green.
I was leaning towards "Contrary Mary" which was WZ-I, the same as Big Beautiful Doll, but a different tail number and even more checkerboard. My theory is she was assigned the squadron number after Landers left?

Hi Dan: Yes, that sounds reasonable that once Landers left, that airplane ID would be available to any pilot assigned to it. Had Landers still been there with that airplane and they really needed the same ID numbers, they would have put a "bar" underneath the "I" to designate that there was another WZ-I already in the squadron. That happened with some frequency.

Freewing has definitely become much more jet-centric. Trust me when I say we all want this model to sell very well so they will be more inclined to continue offering great FlightLine EPO warbirds. I'll be getting one for sure and yes, I will also be repainting her in a silver livery (but keep the uber cool invasion stripes).

Any scheme but green . blue nose ect

[f4u ausie]

To quote X viper. My fone does not do that.. the freewing U tube channel definitely says. 390 kv. Having trouble. With pics again. Unless U guys get a different motor. Again which is it

[Aros]

My buddy texted me today..."I've noticed a lot of people are selling their E-flite Mustangs. Coincidence?"

Your are right. The YouTube video and the manual both say 390kv. I'm going to tend to believe and go with these 2 sources. When this thread first started, I noticed 2 conflicting numbers but it has since been changed to state only the 340kv. That being the case, I'm going to go back and change my post using the 390kv. This would alter my guesses as to the final performance when going with the larger FMS prop (but less pitch).

I’d like to see what the other decal sets look like. I’d like to do Tangerine or Old Crow.

Callie could certainly fix you up with one of those or most anything else you'd like to create.

I placed my order last night ..... Airplane looks so scale! Any idea when the droppable stores will be available?

Tim at Motion said they have no idea at this time on when the drop actuators will be available. Hopefully not too far off. Mine comes today, anxious.

[e4dragongunner]

Picked mine up today!
SHE IS AWESOME!!! The landing light is the Chef's Kiss!

[spanner76]

Probably won't see these in Australia for a few months yet which sucks. Had regretted selling my FMS 1700mm Mustang but don't feel so bad about that anymore now that Flightline has released this!
Cannot wait to get one! Would have been nice if they had done an earlier version of like a B or C but still happy with this one.
Will most likely sell my FMS 1450mm.

Hey, for those who already have their new Mustang, could you please measure the outer diameter of the spinner for me?

[GliderGuy]

Placed an order for one today!

Looking forward to some long flights as compared to the EDFs I mostly fly.
