Starmax P-51D Mustang Gunfighter

Starmax P-51D Mustang Gunfighter
Flying the Mustang for the first time this year at Huntley's , fixed it up with working flaps as before and fitted the ailerons on separate channels to give it crow braking ,flaps down ailerons come up helps a lot to get ride of the floaty tendency it had when landing .
I ran out of channels on my CORONA 2.4G 7CH GR7SF S-FHSS Gyro Rx for Futabas T6J T8J T10J T14SG Rx so with wheels retracted it switch's the gyro off but doesn't really need it for flying.
Still did not like the way it porpoises when i throttle up on go around, might try moving cg forward.

I found one on e-bay, bought it yesterday. Looking at the trees, looks like you are in Kentucky, or Tennessee.

Other side of the pond UK Lancashire. Be careful with the 4 blade prop it torque steers bad . i put sprung legs on it with a piano wire between the retract which i bent forward more and opened up the wheel wells forward to stop nosing over on grass. it was on 4s 5000mah lipo with scale 4 blade prop at 51 amps now on 16x10 2 blade prop on 6s still the same motor as the amps are about the same with the 2 blade APC prop. Throw the ESC in the bin and buy a new one 80 amp is plenty tried to fit it inside but got too hot finished up fitting it underneath the nose you can't see it in flight
