Arrows P-51D - Crash, boom bang! And it still flies!

[@夏沫清风]

There are replacement part on Alibaba. I live in China, arrows is also a Chinese company. It super convenient to get replacement part. There are definitely parts selling online. But shipping from china might cost a bit. But the plane will back to new in box condition. Hope you get the chance to repair it. It’s a pity.

Thanks for the comment. There's spares in EU as well so it's up and flying again!

[@FlankerTanker]

Nice aircraft - I have one in the Box - thanks for sharing your thoughts and advice on it - very much appreciated... thanks 👍

[@SunriseRCAviator]

It looks great and rally fun to fly so I hope yours avoid spiral down.

[@FromAboveAndBeyondChannel]

Good work buddy. 👍

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Thanks my friend!

1 up on you this weekend young fellah! All my planes came home still in flyin' fettle. 😜😁 Pretty windy too so a good result. The new foams are a lifesaver eh?! 😉

[@SunriseRCAviator]

It's always great when your foamies comes home in one piece. Foam is great!

[@roadstar499]

does this fly better than 750mm volantex? thanks

[@SunriseRCAviator]

They are so different. The size difference makes it near impossible to compare these two.

[@musk-eteer9898]

yes absolutely, i have both. this one is more scale with more functions.

[@roadstar499]

i had flown a few fms 800mm planes...they fly great...also i hear the dynam 1200 mustang is an extremely good flyer...thanks

[@SunriseRCAviator]

Once you reach 1.2m wingspan you usually get a very nice behaved plane.

[@musk-eteer9898]

dynam 1.2 mustang flys good but the main landing gear is too far back made it slide nose down after you land. each landing made them props smaller.

[@roadstar499]

@@musk-eteer9898 the newer version with flaps may be better...you can also rake those gear forward a bit and shim them..maybe even go next size larger wheels could help... thanks for sharin..

I’ve had my eye on the Arrows Corsair for months now. I’ve got the Bigfoot and the Marlin and I’ve been impressed with the quality of them. Are their warbirds similar quality?

[@SunriseRCAviator]

In short. Build is really good on the Arrows RC planes and Bigfoot is my favourite. For the other models I prefer E-Flite as they fly better.

[@PhilipCockram]

Glad you got it fixed up . It is a beautiful plane . Some of the Arrows planes are rebranded here in Canada to GH Air . But they don't have this in stock yet . I'm just curious , do you think the e-flite 1.2m is less responsive because it's a little heavier or that maybe the control surfaces or throws are less maybe ? Would better servos help in your opinion ? I have the bigger 1.5m E-flight P-51 , but have not flown it yet .

[@SunriseRCAviator]

I think the E-Flite is larger and that's why it is better controlled.

[@aragorn318]

Nah, I'm so happy with my eflite june nite. Absolutely screams with 4s 2700 battery and long flight time

[@SunriseRCAviator]

YES! I also like my June Nite a lot. It's a sweet warbird and it will be featured on my channel soon.

[@aragorn318]

@@SunriseRCAviator As far as arrows rc is concerned, I'm now interested in buying the marlin. I found another flying field with a paved runway near me, and this one is a big, open field. Looks like I'm going to be flying edf's soon.

[@SunriseRCAviator]

@@aragorn318 I might do Marlin in the spring.

[@aragorn318]

@@SunriseRCAviator yep, me too. it's going to be a cold winter here in Chicago so I just got snow skis for my high-wing.

[@JN24185]

I feel your pain brother. I JUST bought this plane in the newer color scheme and it is just gorgeous. It’s almost criminal to fly it and risk crashing!

[@SunriseRCAviator]

It's always a bummer to crash these great looking planes!

[@looneytunes47]

I know its a really hard thing to wrap your head around but the only manuver that will pull you out of a death spiral is no throttle all othe control surfaces nuetral and Rudder full opposite of the spin. easy to say it in your head but human reaction is to pull up elevator and throttle up this will amplify the spin

[@SunriseRCAviator]

You are absolutely right but in RC flying things happens so fast.
