I’ve had the Pacific Silver for about 4 years now. All the original parts still intact. I can’t say enough good things about the flight characteristics. It’s just a joy to fly. I take it out 5 times more often than the other Flightline 1600mm Corsair, Spitfire and Tigercat. They all fly great too, but there’s something special about the P-38. Glad I did the gear upgrade.
@@dustinhiett9594 the p-38 is what inspired the big Spitfire, Corsair and Tigercat purchases. I should’ve saved some money and bought the Euro Green p-38 and taken turns taking them to the field. I have to admit though, the Spitfire and Corsair look awfully realistic in a roll and power dive. Can’t say enough good things about Flightline’s engineering, quality of paint and foam.
@@dustinhiett9594 it’s taken a few years to get all the warbirds, but what I’ve found fascinating is, I’ve destroyed so many 1100-1200 warbirds, but not a scratch on the 1600mm’s. (I’ve replaced props on both the spitfire and Corsair. Usually prop torque on takeoff and tipping over on landings, but both must have 75+ flights on them) The stock gear on the Spitfire and Corsair are impressive.
I forgot to ask. What receiver did you go with? I put a Spektrum 637T in mine. Never needed the Safe, but mostly fly if not always in AS3X. (One 5000 mah is as big as I’ve gone on batteries)
im using the 637T as well an use the AS3X plus the battery voltage wire so I have telemetry on that in flight to my DX8 TX. i use twin 3000-4000mah batteries in mine.
@@dustinhiett9594 that battery size is impressive. I’ve had nothing but success with the 5000, I hate to push my luck. But I’ve got a bunch of 3000’s and 3200’s. God, I haven’t had to touch a trim tab in a while. But a little longer flight time is always nice.

I have had mine couple years now and fly it at least once a month. it is a joy to fly and it has inspired a club member to buy the Silver version.

@@jeffhenderson934 you got some good birds man. I have the Eflite F4U 1.2m and it flies great. I do want to get a Spitfire!!

@@jeffhenderson934 Clean on the 1600s!? this is impressive. I have the eflite P51 in 1.2 and it has to be the best flying WWII plane in my hangar.
Nice sensible approach to shaking it down. And what a great runway you have!
Thanks

@@jeffhenderson934 might be good to stay with what works, man.
