Arrows - P-51D Mustang - 1.1m - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup

[@petewatts30]

Thanks for making great videos I watch you on my TV, before the internet there was nothing to watch about rc.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome! Glad we can give you your RC fix ;)

[@65Max]

I love that Megan is becoming a more vocal part of the construction process - what a great team! Let's have Camera Crew fly more too.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Allan! She's been around this stuff for so long now, and she's really gotten to have a pretty good eye for the details we're looking for - she's great!!!!

[@keithbeckrc9855]

Brian, I had a battery with one cell below 3 volts so the charger would not start. So I plugged the balance lead from another 'OK' battery into the charger to fool it and then it started to charge. I monitored the voltage with a voltage checker and once the voltage rose over the low limit I was able to remove the other battery and balance charge this one. Worked great but be sure to monitor the charging closely when doing this. Don't leave it unattended.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Nice! I've always just cheated the voltage in "without the balance lead" and then the SMART circuit USUALLY fixes it. However, in my somewhat limited experience, the SMART packs that do this end up dying again.

[@WizzRacing]

This guys wife is wonderful.. She lets him play with toy Planes...And supports it...

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

She sure is!!!

[@New2Kendo]

Chapstick works great for lubricating screws

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Good idea! I could also do that with the lipo!!!!

[@New2Kendo]

@@BrianPhillipsRC yes sir, I learned that when I raced 1/10 Touring a long time ago. My chassis was an X Ray T3, it was released in 2009 and I got the first one at our track

[@thedonnyman1]

Think this is next on my radar.great vid Brian.thx mark from the uk.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You're welcome, and hope you do it!

[@JN24185]

I bought it! Haven’t Maidened it yet, but am super excited.

[@Karldron]

jamas me aburren tus videos amigo :) desde chile !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Excellent! Thanks

[@yeetforever4425]

Would this be a good 3rd plane? (And I’m starting building the gripen )

[@sotm2]

The better way to bump a battery pack up to charge it is to use a parralell plug to single and plug the low battery into one side and a good charged battery of the same size into the other side of the parralell plug for a few seconds. Use the two parralell sides NOT the output end.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That could cause your battery to over-discharge - also very dangerous, but you CAN do it. If you want to do it as safe as possible, you can integrate a controlled circuit, like a charger, in the middle.... But to all their own, both are kinda "no-no's " - LOL - but really, be safe out there ;)

[@morercmadness3850]

yay more mustangs! thats like your seventh mustang :) can't wait for the E-flite F-14! LOL

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I agree!!!

[@garygullikson6349]

Are replacement 4-blade props, prop adapters and spinners easily available?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

IF they're in stock, yes...but spare parts stock come and go, so you need to get a few, if you think you'll need them. No, this is not meant to be a sarcastic reply, it's correct, and accurate...but might be easily misunderstood, so I wanted to clarify. P.S. If you ever had trouble getting a spare prop, I'd be surprised, BUT you might have trouble with the SPINNER...that's what I struggle to find when and if I crash a plane. My 2 cents - get 'em while they're hot. I have so many planes, I won't skip a beat if I lose a prop, but when I was new, I had multiple of each spare part for my "everyday fliers", of which I had a handful...so I still have a lot of parts for these planes, and these parts have served me well over the years...well, some of them have, many have collected dust.

[@marcobuonavita2757]

ottimo video, come sempre del resto , ti ringrazio per la lezione complessiva , ma in modo particolare per la miscelazione dei flap con il piano di coda .

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the radio setup tips! ~~~~~~~~ Prego! Sono contento che i suggerimenti per la configurazione della radio ti siano piaciuti!

[@SunriseRCAviator]

You are probably right that all Arrows warbirds must have a 4s battery to get them good. To bad about that tight fit for 4s batteries as these Arrows planes are so nice to build. Compared to the E-Flite June Nite one would think it's in the same league but it's not as the June Nite just works out of the box.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, and I should have just trimmed out the foam a bit...would have made it easier.

[@dfweiner]

Hey Brian! Great video... I should know, I've watched it 100 times! Anyway I am running the same setup, but the elevator servo doesn't really have much movement unless the flaps are barndoor. Any idea what might be the issue? I was thinking the SAFE set up might not be working properly.

[@RCBeginners]

I need help, I have the receiver that comes with the bind and fly t28, I want to set it to my P-51, which I bought because of you LOL . I have a dx6, so far I got the flaps to work and the ailerons just move about a millimeter each way at the same time.. Can you please help me..

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I trust you're talking about the Eflite 1.2m T-28? If not, please clarify. If it is that Rx, then make sure you're in the right mode...SAFE/AS3X which will GREATLY impact how far the surfaces move. Also, the direction the Rx was mounted matters, unless you factory reset the Rx, then treat it like a PNF, which would be better. I don't know if the DX6 supports some of the newer Forward Programming. Have you considered upgrading to at least the NX7e, or the DX8, or DX10? I know it's not a cheap move, and most HATE to change Transmitters, since it's something we grow to love...but I know the DX lineup will lose support, eventually. Maybe this is the time to do it? Also, try moving the ailerons plug to the Rudder, and the Rudder to the Ailerons and see if the "problem" of moving only a millimeter, persists. You need to see if the Servos are screwed up, or the Rx, OR the setup.

Lawnmowers and leaf blowers all week!

[@morkshanmedia3998]

I got one of these and it’s got a thrust reversing ESC. Does anyone else have that? I’m not complaining, it’s just funny.

[@papapsadventures6119]

The oil in your hair works too. Old carpenters trick

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - Possibly ;)

ótimo trabalho

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you!

[@nirlachman007]

Brian great video! Is that the new E-flite 1.2m Corsair that I see behind the Arrows Corsair?? ;)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Coming VERY soon ;)

[@scotboy1297]

Maybe Eflite will come out with a Top Gun: Maverick version P-51.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL You mean, Tom Cruises P-51 ???

[@JN24185]

I’m just wondering if all my cells are “dead nuts” 😂😂😂 A Brianism 😂

[@davidbohner692]

You have to do the Arrow’s T-28 next.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We'll see ;)

[@АнатолийМульченко]

👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

thanks!

[@papapsadventures6119]

How about a power screwdriver with an adjustable torque?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You CAN do it, but it's gonna have to be very light pressure.

[@lesterstanislas5590]

Would this be? a beginners plane to get into the hobby.

[@OpOwen52]

Hi

[@BrianPhillipsRC]
