Oh it was fine...It was a one time deal. Now if I always flew her by the ocean? Maybe a different deal.My YouTube RC videos:

Until then, here is my hack version of the RCAF 403 Squadron - a post-war scheme

Slowly rising out of the ashes as Aros would say. :)

Got to say, I always use velcro too, straps along will never do the job as good.
Flew my P-51 again this weekend as we try and shoot a follow up video this week. I can't decide if I like the 3s or 4s better. Its great to have the power with the 4S, but with the 3S you have to fly it smarter to get it looking more scale simply as you don't have that extra power as an option to help make life more easier ;) That said, its more 'fun' on 4S. So I would be interested to know, quick call out, you guys mostly flying on 3S or 4S set-ups?

I have been flying mine on 4S. I prefer the power as it's too much fun to yank and bank...Total pylon racer, love it.My YouTube RC videos:

Where did you place your 4s for CG?
Did you paint the leading edge of the ailerons?

Love the livery and weathering! Great job and welcome to Hobby Squawk Deadpool!
How are you guys launching this? I am having a hell of a time underhand tossing it without it wanting to torque roll and is very squirelly until I can get both hands on the sticks and get her climbing and on step. I have tried tossing at several different power settings and they all come with their set of issues. I tried overhand tossing (which I am used to with some other models) but found that even more cumbersome.
I love the model, she's a hoot to yank and bank, especially on 4S, but I was curious if others are having "pucker moments" on the toss?My YouTube RC videos:
