Just bought one. I also bought a couple of canopies and cockpits so I can make a "proper" cockpit with a more realistic (not little person) pilot. I saw some ideas for a sliding canopy but will work it out and reduce the foam width of the fuselage at the cockpit and reinforce with CF instead. That moves the cockpit sides to a more realistic width. Plan to 3D print interior parts too. I'll post as I get it worked out.

i have three dream planes.... the 1700mm Ferocious Frankie P-51, the RocHobby Strega (because i grew up right next to Reno and saw the air races every year), and the 1400mm FMS P-51B Dallas Darling. i am a huge P-51 fan because they are so epic in the air, and fly so well. one day soon, i will have those models. lets just hope it is sooner rather than later...... and, as always, supurb job on the video. you always have the best RC videos i have seen online.

At this price range I wish FMS would give the buyer the choice of silver or olive drab airframe sporting basic AAC decals and include a few sets of different popular WWII scheme decals to personalize it. Gotta admit I don't care much for the Bunnie or Ferocious Frankie schemes. Looks like a fantastic scale-flying model, though. Merry Christmas from Thailand!

I put a reverser on the servo and it changed direction put not enough movement to open and close the cooling door.any suggestions?chip

Can you put a longer arm on the servo? Or if you have an extra channel, plug the cooling door into an aux channel and make a mix where the flaps the master and the door servo is the slave. Then increase the end points or travel of the cooling door servo.... You should also be able to reverse this door electronically, so it moves in the correct direction:)

+Wefinance01 Define "lacking of Power"? We clocked it on Radar at over 80mph... This is not a 3D plane, it is a scale model... This plane has plenty of power! I have been flying the actual plane seen the video for 2 years now... it has been to 2 SEFF & 2 Joe Nall events as well as numerous smaller events... what you are saying is simply false.....

I believe you defined it at 80mph..mine out of the box is not getting that unless it's on a dive. This thing can barely perform a wide loop or a half Cuban. Just got mine from MotionRC two weeks ago. I would be lucky to get 55-60mph stock. This is all on good batteries rate 6-120c 4000mah and 5000mah - batteries that performed fantastic on my EDF jets. In addition, one of my landing gear does not retract do to a faulty retract end switch. You show me on film, with an accurate radar gun, where you have 80mph straight run on stock with no molestation on the power setup or modification on the prop. Just because you flown it at SEFF or Joe Nall...that doesn't make it fly 80 mph. As you notice, several people on RCGROUPS have complained about the lack of speed on this bird to the point that many used zip tie mod to change the pitch of the blade. Yeah it is not 3D, but it also is not fast like you claim to be and definitely underscores the real warbird. Your claim versus what I see - I will take what I see and experience any day.

+Wefinance01 Are you using a 6s pack? check the timing of your ESC and run it on a watt meter to check the output. Mine is totally stock with NO modifications of anykind! The ziptie mod can over amp the ESC & I have NOT done this or any other mod to mine.... I Just flew it this weekend at a 2 day event at the Triple Creek RC event here in Florida. I would be happy to meet you anywhere with my model to demo it for you if you live in Florida. After flying it at SEFF & Joe Nall on the event circuit for 2 years now, Many can attest to its speed and performance in the stock configuration. Again, ALL my videos of this plane are of MY ALL STOCK MODEL WITH NO MODIFICATIONS OF ANY KIND! Sorry, but there are many folks that are falsely bashing this model... It is simply the finest foam P-51 on the market! Again, I will be happy to demo the model in person for anyone... Just name the time and place!

+RCINFORMER what should the timing fir the ESC be? If that is the solution then...it should be noted at the sellers website. But out of the box this this flies like cow patties...see my video.

I do not want to sound negative, but I was so distracted by you "uh's", please take some speech classes, it will help you with eliminating those security words that ultimately become a handicap for effective public speaking.

Fact: out of 1.8 Million views and 7800 subscribers you were the ONLY one that is that distracted, its possible you need some medication for ADD. While I am not a regular public speaker, my videos are elective viewing material & I put quite a bit of effort into them so folks get a great review... you may need watch some simple crash compilation & epic fail type videos that have no words in them.... this may help keep you focused, but I dont want to sound negative:)
