E-Flite P-51D Mustang 1.0m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select - Model AV8R Announcement & Review

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Ooh, nice one HH! Nice and simple. Like me. Love it... HH ought to take a leaf out of Eachine's book and make a whole rage of these as I'd be all over them. Great review, Adam.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I knew you'd dig it Gina! I'm with you...come on Spitfire...

[@IansRCExploits]

What a fab little Mustang Adam!! So quick on 4s too, let's hope they bring out a 1.0m Spitfire, now that would be something 😀👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is Ian! Yes sir...I'd have one!

[@GBLynden]

Great work as always Adam! It looks like a good one 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man! Dude it is so easy to fly. I was pretty much instantly comfortable. Sometimes the simple ones are the most fun...

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Adam great review with the Next generation Ferocious Frankie. Simple fun, P51 style. Jeff in LA USA

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Jeff! What an improvement...

[@michaeldanielsG19]

I always like the P-51 Mustang, such a great plane with a lot of history. Will have to watch the full video when I have more time.

[@its_generik]

your takeoffs never cease to amaze me, great flying

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks!

[@howiedenton2709]

Going to have to get this one, just easy, simple, light and beautiful. Great review Adam as always. Let’s hope HH do the same with other classic warbirds (Spitfire or Hurricane hopefully) and tool some new molds in this size class and simple configuration. Love my HH 1.1m T-28, such a quick and easy go to flyer, I’m sure this will be the same.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks for the kind words man. Yep, sometimes simple and light is a fun change of pace!

[@danflom1271]

This is exactly the type of simple warbird that I want. I hope it does well and leads to more.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Dan they fly so good. Hard to beat the characteristics of simple and light.

[@jayaustin3096]

Great little plane that doesn't break the bank. I wish Stuart at hobby king would send you some planes for reviewing. See something different. They have a great sale right now. Very underrated in my opinion. Thanks adam.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is Jay! Simple, fun little Mustang! We have one of the V3 DF Vampies to get to at some point. They don't release as many new planes as Horizon, but we usually get them when they do.

[@jonnycatt138]

Im excited. Cant wait to purchase it! I got alotttt of planes and i always sayyyy my 1.1 trojan is just always so fun to fly! Always makes me smile!😁

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

I'm glad you're excited man! Sometimes the simple ones are the most fun.

[@SteffenRC]

What a wonderful plane. So glad Eflite produced this plane.. Really fits that flyer who wants a simple warbird, but isn't a fan of the Yellow T-28 1.1m... Great review Adam and Heidi..

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Will! Lot to be said for simple and light...

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Loving it! RC-got something for everyone. Adam, just all around great review and Heidi with the cam is spot on. 😉

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Brad!

[@jollyroger2226]

A very nice presentation - and your description of the development and features of this model provide realistic expectations. Well done !

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks very much! Yep, I think many needed to hear that. Bringing a totally new plane to market vs using an older mold is a night and day difference in cost.

[@looneytunes47]

Awesome ping ponging the one wheeler touch n go Addam

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol...yeah I boned a couple of those. You have to get it near perfect on that runway or it will make you pay.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Really nice warbird, blows me away you can get a ten minute plot time, very impressive. Great review Adam. 🫡

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Chris! Yes sir, very efficient.

[@DaveItYourselfChannel]

NIIIIIIIIIIIICE! 😁👍

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Looks like another winner from horizon hobbies. They are the best flying plane's on the market. Period. Nicely done Adam. 😊

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man...I do think this one is a winner!

[@AL-RCjunkie]

It sure is a beauty. I do love tinkerin with the little planes. And this one might be my Coup de gras! Flaps with a couple fms plastic gear 9gs and a 45amp Avian lite to over volt that poor little motor with whatever 4 blade prop solution i can dig up? Yes please. Probably before i even maiden her. 😊 But, wow! What a great 2nd plane for someone that already has a couple 3s 2200s from their trainer. If I'd seen this back then, it'd be beat hell and full of Foam2Foam. Instead of the FMS 1.3m pa18 that i got for my 2nd plane. Which flies great to this day, i might add. Great review, Adam. Awesome filmimg, Heidi 👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks brother Al! I love it... E-Flite - "We're gonna make it simple and really light!" Al - "F that, hold my beer..." Lol

[@AL-RCjunkie]

@ModelAV8RChannel Got me there 👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol

[@jcb6713]

good looking plane...I've watched B. Hoover many times on one wheel; usually back and forth (wing rock) :-); then roll up to the flight line with engine off....👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It is. Bob was the best. Nobody managed energy better.

[@mbx5brian]

Great video i think iam going to order one.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

It flies so good, enjoy it!

[@airhammer6203]

Nice review Adam, might just have to add this with my 1.1 Trojan. Hopefully HH will bring back a updated SE-5 top load battery :). AirHammer out!! It'll probably be the the F4U or Spitty but....

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Bro...an SE5 would be awesome...and a Spit, and Corsair, and Hurri, and...

[@Bellairvideo]

Such a great presentation Adam & Heidi. Flies really great in your capable hands. I do not think it will be in my hangar though due to: 1 expensive here A$500 vs the last model with flaps, retracts, better 3 blade prop etc @ A$550 or less during sales. This has a strange motor/prop sound? Many thanks for a great presentation.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks Noel! Man the costs down there are rough!

[@SlowFlyer85]

Adam you know what I want for Christmas lol I like it good size to throw it in the truck and go and boy do I have 2200mah 3s batteries good video 😊😊😊

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Frank this is a perfect warbird for you brother. Easy flyer, but still a bad to the bone looking Mustang.

[@SlowFlyer85]

@@ModelAV8RChannel 😊👍👍👍 now if I can convince RusticIvy Gaming to pick it up for Christmas lol and she would like you to check out her page lol it is not rc planes lol

[@FarmerFpv]

I have a Parkzone plane that looks just like this? It is one of my favorites. I was bummed out when they discontinued it. I also had the Parkzone L-4A Grasshopper. Another one of my old-school favorites that I taught many friends to fly using a buddy box and the L-4A Grasshopper. Great review Adam. I'm going to have to get one for a belly-lander.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks man! Perfect fun belly lander for sure!

[@grantfoster9099]

I like this one!I had the arrows 1.1 well this past Veterans Day didn’t go as expected I lost my rudder clevis it unscrewed out somewhere during flight n so I didn’t have no rudder and it just fell from the sky into pieces I might just pick this one up instead! Still deciding tho

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Dang man hate to hear of your crash...this is a great replacement though...

[@LICobra]

That original Parkzone hand toss Ferocious Frankie was my first warbird. I see this new P-51 is the same dimension's. Not that I need another P-51, but how can I resist.

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Brother Tony you know by now...in spite of what some may say, you can't have too many Mustangs...or Cubs! Lol

[@jonmeyers523]

I hope they release a corsair in this series. I had to retire my parkzone corsair after years of service 😢

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Me too, that would be awesome!

[@5lexicon]

Now to bring back the wildcat.

[@laddridgerc3828]

Very nice warbird for sure. Perfect for a step up after a trainer, like myself. I've got a turbo timber evolution umx. It's an awesome park cruiser. I would like to get a bigger plane for Christmas. I'm down to picking out one of two of these planes. This new p51 or the Viper 64mm. What are the strengths and weaknesses??? And what might be best for me??? Thank you for sharing these awesome planes with us. ❤

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Man those are both very good choices, but both very different. I would say if you started with a UMX as your trainer, go with the P-51. That way you can get used to something a good bit faster without it being such a jump. Make the Viper your third plane. This is especially if you are flying at parks. If you are a member of a flying club that has more room, you could go with either if you are really confident with your UMX TTE.

[@gerrymorris1698]

Amazing review!! I know when I click on to your video I'm going to see a top shelf effort. So.....newbie question here...I inherited a Dx8 g1,will it suffice for me to attempt to fly this plane(although)at a somewhat reduced capacity? Thanks!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Thanks for the kind words! Absolutely a DX8 will do fine. Just set it up like you normally would. The stock AS3X+ settings are fine, so not being able to change them is not an issue. It will fly just like an earlier AS3X plane would, but better.

[@LFLYSRC]

Can it make clean lines in 4-point rolls, slow rolls, etc? Edit: Nevermind! Just watched the entire video lol

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol...yep!

[@user-cc3cq7xi6p]

All the cool paint schemes of the P51, and they keep recycling the same few. Let me guess a red tail or a blue nose on the next version. 🤦‍♀️

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Sometimes its a matter of licensing. Rare with WWII warbirds, but it has happened.

[@quilong]

I prefer Trojan because it's so ugly that it's pretty

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Lol...can't go wrong with either for sure!

[@angelotig]

Why is Horizon Hobby obsessed with the never ending P51 mustang?? give us something new!!!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

What are you even talking about? 14 new planes so far in 2024...two are Mustangs. Oh and why do they keep doing those from time to time? Because it is a business and they sell really well. Kinda the point.
