Hey, so thankful for this video!! Without you, I would have been in frustration city and would have screwed something up big-time with those useless instructions!!!

[@davidsapir9638]

So awesome to hear this video helped you out, you're most welcome!

[@timquayle3869]

I just ordered one. thank you!

[@kalebmcconaughy3489]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. The instructions were straight tash. I immediately went looking for a video. Slapped that thing together in no time. Also, thanks for explaining the buttons on this oddball transmitter.

@@kalebmcconaughy3489 Right on, thank you! So glad this video was helpful to you. Awesome plane, awful instructions!

[@kalebmcconaughy3489]

Do I need to bind the transmitter?

[@davidsapir9638]

@@kalebmcconaughy3489 Nope, it's good to go right out of the box.

Hey I’m new to rc planes and wanted to ask can I put a 11.1 V 800 mah battery in this exact rc plane without changing anything except the battery nothing else what will happen exactly? I did see the measurements and the 11.1 V battery should technically fit.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@hamzafaroon2427 I have heard of several folks doing just that and getting away with it. I have also seen a comment from someone who burnt out a board doing it. The problem is the full battery voltage is supplied to the board - a fully charged 3s must be right on the limit of what the board 5v and 3.3v regulators can handle. To be safe some people use a 12v to 7.5v mini buck converter for reducing the voltage seen by the board. Also check your motor and ESC temperatures if flying aggressively.

Thank you so much, you helped me a great deal.. I fly UMX, and I got to say I'm a little jealous because I bought this for my stepson.. And the e-flite UMX P-51 is smaller and doesn't have those gorgeous lights. I only paid 70 bucks for it on AliExpress however it took almost 2 months

Thank you I’m about to get this any day now and I wanna be ahead of the curve lol

[@davidsapir9638]

@@NewRCguyAlex Nice! So glad this video was helpful to you, thanks for checking it out! Do yourself a favor and don't bother attaching the bombs, they throw the gyro off a bit and the plane flies a lot better without them, peace!

Yeah we did a video on assembly about 7 months ago as well. The instructions were so useless. 🙄 It was frustrating to put together as well. But is a great plane for the money. 👍🏻

[@davidsapir9638]

I'll check it out!

[@glObOfad365]

Are you using the ESC board that comes with S-bus? The new ones don't have S-bus.

[@davidsapir9638]

If you have any assembly questions about the XK A280 that weren't addressed in this video feel free to ask, thank you!

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

7.15 Wrong way round! Tx LED solid is the start-up default 6G mode (self-levelling with pitch and roll limits.) 3D (LED flashing) is Rate/AS3X/Wind Correction Only mode. Pressing SENIOR when in 3D mode switches to Manual mode. To get back to 3D mode you must press the Senior/6G button again to return to 6G after which pressing the 6G/3D button will give you the 3D mode again. (Or you can press the 6G/3D button twice for the same result.) XK Destruction manuals are famous for their very poor translations but the pictures and diagrams generally allow most folks to work it out. Americans (being about the only country in the world which still uses the non-metric system) are at a bit of a disadvantage since the size of the screws listed with the pictures of where they go, is only shown in metric units. 😉😊

[@davidsapir9638]

Thank you for taking the time to comment and straighten that out, much appreciated!

[@Antvoc_edits]

Whenever I throttle the rudder stops working on the controller but the gyro still works do you know how to fix this?

[@kianwong4625]

Great set up help. Thanks. Ps have you tried running this on a umx 3s battery?

[@davidsapir9638]

@@kianwong4625 no, not yet, but will definitely try the 3S battery, thanks!

[@kianwong4625]

@@davidsapir9638 hi- i maddened the xx mustang on a 3s umx battery. It seemed to hold up well and had a noticeable effect, flying in the wind. The battery did get sucked quickly though. I got about 3 mins.

@@davidsapir9638 sorry i meant i did a maiden flight on the XK mustang.

Great . Yes out flies great for money. I have lost binding - do you happen to know how to rebind the TX to the plane. Ive tried the sticks down and out while powering on tx -didn’t work.. cheers

[@jurgenw.8472]

I have the same problem. Do you have a solution?

[@joemack1004]

I’m having trouble mounting the rear landing gear. I’m not sure if I’m dumb or missing something. Any help would be great, thanks.

[@davidsapir9638]

@@joemack1004 the rear landing gear pushes into the slot of that grey plastic circle. Just freeze the video when the plane is flipped over and you'll see it.

[@joemack1004]

@@davidsapir9638 thanks dude!!!

[@joemack1004]

Still struggling, does anyone have a zoomed in picture of the rear gear? The metal clip is too small to fit over the plastic piece, it just opens up and bends

[@davidsapir9638]

​@@joemack1004With the plane upside down in front of you with the propeller facing forward, snap the landing gear wheel wire into the center slot of the circular landing gear hub, making sure the wire side is on the left and the pointy side of the rim is on the right. Tried getting back to you sooner but I was in the hospital recovering from surgery lololol!

Why is my controllers mixed up when trying to fly the plan?

Hey man thx for the advice but I still have an issue perhaps you can help. My wing( I have 2 of this same p51) has 2, 3 conductor wires. I can get all controls to work one except for the 1 aileron. Is it supposed to have a Y harness?

[@davidsapir9638]

@@alexanderstoner4306 The aileron connection is the only 3 prong wire in the bunch, and it gets plugged in right beside the 3 prong wire that's already plugged in on the double aileron servo. Maybe you didn't plug it in, or maybe it's plugged in the wrong spot. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@alexanderstoner4306]

Wow man I found the y harness in between the flaps of the box. How sillysilly of me and disconnected. came disconnected. I plugged it, now off to the sky. and off to the sky. Thank you sir for the prompt responses. The RC flight community has been so helpful. This is one pool of people that truly care and want to help; opposing many other disciplines. ✌🏽
