FMS / Diamond Hobby P-51 MUSTANG RED TAIL 1700mm FULL Flight Review

[@monsenrm]

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.

[@alvintarrer6914]

P51,B17 my favorite planes,good info,demo 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️

[@scragbyterc1059]

Awesome!! And it has a Tuskegee airman in the cockpit! That's a grand scale detail right there 👍👍

[@millermonsterair]

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.

[@RCINFORMER]

Thanks for watching! The FMS & RocHobby brand really have the Best EPO models on the market,,. Whit i like is that they are constantly improving the models to make them better! Although, they have reached a point with many of their planes where there is not much more to improve upon!

[@millermonsterair]

RCINFORMER its always a pleasure to watch your videos. informative and fun.

[@stonkeng]

Those awkward wing screws were a pain so I have drilled two holes in the doors, now I can pass the bolts through using a magnetised screw driver, soooo much easier.

[@RCINFORMER]

That works. You can usually manually open the doors when the plane is unpowered.

[@milano61]

Great into! Just noticed the wrong flag for the P-51 era. Need a 48 star flag image.

[@jeepman012]

Love it, I ordered mine today, can't wait its going to be FUN.

[@RCINFORMER]

Thanks for using my link to purchase!

[@RCINFORMER]

this Was a really good shorter version of the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKSyZGaopcdrpK8

[@Lozzie74]

Great review. I bought one as a result of this video! I just wondered why you don't open the main gear doors by hand to access the wing bolts? I'm doing it that way and it works fine.

[@RCINFORMER]

+Lozzie74 sometimes the clevis pops off when I do that, also it puts a lot of load on the servo gears...

[@jimgroves7981]

Rich, I little off subject but you obviously are a leading edge in this Hobby. I've been searching the internet for a large 1450mm - 1700mm (electric) P-17 Stearman but they're like hens teeth. I've found only very small scale. I'm not sure if it's because they're not popular or that most of us that remember them are dead. :) Any direction?

[@RCINFORMER]

Jim Groves Unfortunately there are no large ones that I know of

[@ramoncuret446]

Just got my 1700mm p51 mustang can't wait to build it

[@kellio48]

Great Video but I'm curious as to whether the wing lights are strobe or stationary?. Can't really tell from the video.

[@franklinwills4970]

Every time I watch this I want it more.

[@RCINFORMER]

Here is more! Have you seen the short version of the video? It is probably the best version of the video! Enjoy! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKSyZGaopcdrpK8

[@Tiswhattitis]

11:45 I thought it was good bye p51!! 😂😂 great plane, great flying!!🤘

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Beautiful bird Rich. I wish that I had one with this wingspan. Thanks for posting this video and greetings from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

[@Ozzy50]

Glad to see you were able to get one. I just came from your unboxing video. Salute

[@Jimbo-in-Thailand]

Great review and, WOW, a gorgeous plane but LOL the tiny pilot looks waaaaaay too small... and short! Looks like the height-challenged elf has to look up to see outside the cockpit! 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!

[@julianneale6128]

RCINFORMER it was a genuine statement, cheers!

[@RCINFORMER]

Julian Neale Thanks Again:)

[@hangarfiftyone3527]

Hey Rich; love your video's; very professional, great flying and great camera man. I'm pretty sure FMS only discontinued the green cameo Norma 1700mm P-47, the silver Hun Hunter is still available. Keep up the great reviews. Kenny

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

This is a sweet plane! I really like watching the real P-51's flying in air shows. As soon as I get my skills honed better, I will be getting one of these birds. Do they offer one in a Nitro or gas powered version? I'm a nitro person myself, but this brushless electric model is really nice, and looks easy to build. Thanks for the nice video, and excellent piloting skills.

[@winggs88]

Mine doesent go anywhere near 85 mph. Thinking of going to the 360 motor. Hopeing for 80 with bigger kv. Anyone else do this? Mine is so slow stock that it could take a bird strike from the rear.

[@cdaworldnav]

"I'm wondering if I can acquire this and mount it for use in displays, demonstrating the control movements, gears, and propeller for show-and-tell purposes indoors."

[@RCINFORMER]

Yes, you can!

[@williamglassiterjr683]

Very fine looking warbird with great details. Can’t wait to get this plane to test out my new Radio Master TX16S transmitter.

[@Johns-qr7ek]

Was going to get one read the reviews decided not to this guy is a good flyer but he's not going to say anything negative about it read the reviews before buying it don't forget these people are paid to fly and only say good things about it

[@RCINFORMER]

Not much negative to say about this model... I still fly this very same model today! The version 2 of this model is coming out soon... it will be even better. Many of the negative reviews of this model are not very accurate.

[@RCINFORMER]

John, this model is now 5 years old and still flys great.... if you are in the Orlando Florida area, I would be glad to show you how well it flys and how high quality of a model it is. If you happen to be going to Nall in the Fall, I would be happy to bring it to that event to show you how well it flys:) I usually always have a FMS 1700MM Mustang with me at most airshows that I attend as it is an excellent model:)

[@RCINFORMER]

John, here is a recent video of my other "Ferocious Frankie" FMS 1700MM Mustang at the 2019 SEFF event about 2 months ago.... I think you should check your scorces & who is reviewing these models & what advise you are taking... The FMS 1700MM P-51 is one of the nicest flying P-51 Mustangs on the market... The soon to be released Version 2 will be even better... dare I say the finest available? We will see:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWi9poGqq9qfgKc

[@robertmcknight.5399]

Hi rich I bought this plane a few years a I'm in Canada .just wanted to know how to take the wing off as it has a hanger rash for the elevator hinge is only fix 50 percent on the wing so I need to fix it I had health problems so couldn't fly for a long time now I'm good to go so was wondering if u can help love your channel been watching u for years your a credit to the hobby 😊

[@RCINFORMER]

There are 6 wing screws. 2 of them are inside the wheel wells. You have to open the main gear doors to assess them. I'll bet money you may have missed those:)

[@pastorlito2004]

Hi is this a BNF or you install your own recievers?

[@RCINFORMER]

You have to install your own receiver....

[@upperechelon3456]

Great video. I'm trying to mentally compare this bird to the 1700 corsair in flight. Looks like a very smooth and stable platform. The external details are just amazing - even the sound.

[@jetvalmonte4742]

Another great review, and the usual top notch flying....best scale rc flight videos on the web! thanks

[@Shane_Little]

Looking to buy this plane soon. Two questions: 1. The wing screws under the gear doors, with four other wing screws is it possible to omit those screws completely or are they absolutely necessary? 2. How difficult is it to swap that motor out with an upgraded, more power option? I’m new to electrics and new, again, to RC flying after a long hiatus from the hobby. Thanks for any help. Great video!

[@RCINFORMER]

Shane Little I see many people fly the plane without those screws in it because they didn't know those 2 screws existed.... It's fairly easy to change the motor as long as the x mount bolt pattern is the same..

[@MesFlyST]

Great model in appropriate dimension and flown by capable RC pilot....thank so much.

[@bomac10]

Wow this is a Great Plane! Excellent review and flight demo as well. I'm sold! !

Does the gear sequencer come with the plane? And also does the canopy open and close like on the 1400? And loved the video thanks for sharing

[@RCINFORMER]

yes, sequencer comes with it... No, canopy does not open, but some have converted it to do so:)

[@rondidden233]

Rich,That was an awesome !!! What a great looking plane! Thanks for doing the video.

[@davidgerlach1132]

Very nice 51! At 9:25 you demonstrate the radiator cowl flap, but what is the small bottom flap just in front of it that seems to be just slightly wedged open? I also notice you're flying with mid-flaps much of the time which leads me to wonder that she fly's heavy, or feels heavy?

[@jimcarter8489]

love this P51 still waiting for it to all come to the UK

[@brohoop]

Great review as always! I’m not going through all the comments so this probably has come up, but the pilot is far too small-not even close to scale, unless you’re modeling a child. Thought I’d mention it just in case. 😃

[@cwwisk]

Just got mine!

[@jimcarter8489]

Great P51 mustang want the one that is 1700mm im the UK asap

[@ironcobra98]

What would you say is the pilot skill level to fly this plane? Is it only for experienced skill pilots or for someone who can handle the basics of a FMS EXTRA 300?

[@flychip4001]

hello Rich , I have had my 1700 p51 for a while now and we had a couple of bad servos , I have them swapped out. now my cooling door is not working in the correct direction. when flaps are down the door is closed and it should be open as your video shows. 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

[@RCINFORMER]

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:)

[@mamastone2558]

they should make a 1700mm dago red, strega, voodoo, and galloping ghost

[@leahaspronk6642]

I’m buying this plane soon does it come with a controller and battery or do I have to buy them separately?

[@RCINFORMER]

You only have to add your battery and receiver. Everything else is included

[@hudsonvalleywanderer1611]

Cool plane but that wing removal system seems like it might not hold up well over time.

[@RCINFORMER]

Well its lasted me well so far so whilst things have progressed with certain models all i can say is if its looked after properly I have found no issues in all the years i have had mine. Thanks for the Support too :)

[@alanrawnsley7151]

i have purchased FMS P51 1700mm but my only fault with the kit is the instructions are different to my plane theres wires every where and they don't have the wing plugs in the kit i got so i don't no but it has made it very difficult but i have only to get the airolones working now

[@ianevans2854]

Is it possible to manually operate the landing gear on FMS 1700MM P51D Mustang?

Hey Rich , nice presentation , its a great plane, got mine finally, maiden iam hoping tomarrow, but keep it up, iam still flying the 1200mm corsair and p51 redtails all 5 lol besides the zero A6M3 smooth flyers out of the box, keep up your grest work with the war birds!!!

[@wilsonwhiteowl116]

Hi Rich, did the maiden on the 1700mm redtail, of course had to take the 1450mm up first, but both are great and easy to handle... very smooth 1700mm no problems on take off or landing , floated to a smooth landing ..like the 1.2mm corsair does .. thanks for the great videos Rich!! Happy flying guys!!!

[@kendonnelly3248]

Great video. I acquired one from a garage sale unbuilt. However, it was missing parts. The fuselage plastic parts . That's not a problem i can get them 3d printed. The main problem is the wing tubes are missing. Horizon doesn't expect to see them till september. May i ask you to measure those tubes? diameter and the dihedral angle. TY

[@RCINFORMER]

Send an Email to [e-mail] as they still make this mustang and will likely have everything available. Will try to find time to measure but busy this week….should be the same as real plane too (scale model). Thanks for the support and watching the channel, send me a message over Facebook via the RC informer Facebook page to remind me to measure the tubes for you👍

[@DickGibson]

Great demo Tim I want one real bad Can I say, waterproof watch?

[@sambuvca22]

Rich. Is there a way to reverse the cowl flap servo? Mine is going in the opposite direction. I’m thinking of manually removing servo and reinstalling it. Any advice? Dx8 transmitter primary.

[@RCINFORMER]

Yes if you have a spare channel on your radio & receiver you can plug it into any auxiliary channel and mix that channel to your flap channel... From there you can just reverse the aux channel if necessary.

[@sambuvca22]

RCINFORMER gotcha, I do. Thanks man.

[@georgeturner6607]

this plane is great pretty fast but on the 10th flight when i got the retracts working i lost this plane because the bloody hatch came off and the esc signal wire unplugged and had no control of it and is a right off buger lesson learned.TAPE THE HATCH DOWN OR ELCE U COULD LOOSE YOURS ASWELL. thanks

[@Island_Line_Rail_Productions]

Great model! just wondering what is maximum VFE and also VLE speeds

[@RCINFORMER]

Cant be sure of the exact speed, but it is wise to slow it down a bit for dropping the gear and flaps:)

+Todd Ullmann They are all good. Both the Corsair and the P-51 are my favorite of the 1700mm FMS planes... The P-51 is like flying a Cadillac, it is smooth, stable and very maneuverable. The Corsair is a bit more of an aggressive flyer, it is bit more nimble.... however both are very comparable. The P-47 has been discontinued. You will be happy with any of the 3... I keep a receiver in all 3 and fly them often simply because they are the best!

[@Wefi01]

This plane flies like a trainer...and its slow like a trainer...looks fast on this vid but thats bc the flights are low altitude to make the back drop visually fast speed. But if you look at the loops yoy can tell lacking of power. For 3D and edf guys like me...this plane lacks the power when stock.

[@RCINFORMER]

+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.....

[@Wefi01]

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.

[@RCINFORMER]

+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!

[@Wefi01]

+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.

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:)
