Gotta say!! BANGGOOD is sneaky. I already had this in my cart. It was in the US Warehouse $99 Dollars. Now it’s not in my cart and it’s no longer in the US WAREHOUSE. Now it’s $130 dollars from China. Pretty sure it’s because you made this video. Still a good plane!! But I’ll wait now.
That first Take-Off, Nate, WOW!! 😮 I legit did an immediate rewind-n-replay. I’m honestly impressed with this one… not to mention you had me at LED’s. 😜 I’m not a huge P-51 fan, but I’m going to try to get one of these into my RC Hangar.
Thank you so much RC Saylors! I saw this video a week ago and thanks to you I caught the flash sale just before it ended and total cost with shipping was only $89.68. Unreal! It just arrived today and I finished assembly and testing about an hour ago. Everything works perfectly. This is by far the best bang for the buck r/c plane purchase I've ever made. It's such a well made, small yet sizey 22" wingspan RTF park flier. The included controller works great and the 35 lights on this thing are awesome! Can't wait to take it up tomorrow! My only gripe were the completely useless assembly instructions, but watching a few videos helped me get there. So thrilled with this purchase, thanks again!
I have gotten back into the world of RC, starting with crawlers, trail trucks, etc. But i recently purchased a Volantex Cub 500 and now this! Having never flown a plane, im excited to see what happens Thanks to the two of you for getting me interested in the world of rc planes from the great videos you share.
I can confirm that this thing is a real beast! Made some high speed crashes with it and not a scratch, flies great and even did some night flying - the white light on the bottom litterly lights the ground
I was wondering why only a few people reviewed this plane. I bought as my first plane and it is a tank! Extremely durable and it really makes you fly the thing!! Wish all my future airplanes flight this good.
I honestly don’t think much of this at all when I saw it online and even when I got it in person. It was not until I pulled it out of the box that I saw the potential and now after it’s flown, I’m considering selling a couple of (or more likely donating) at least two of my “Eachine” birds 👍💯⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors you nailed it so true I agree with you 💯% I have yet to see any RC plane set up with that many LED lights whether it be a small park flyer or a larger style setup. I wish XK would consider building this size and style like they have in all their 400 series warbirds line or platform.
WOW! I am so glad I watched your video and used your code when I did. The plane is listed now at $179.99 (without discounts). That is about double what I paid, including taxes!! Thank you so much!
They really need to come out with some more war birds it's definitely the best mini war bird I have ever seen nate I changed my prop to a 2 blade and it made it a little more efficient so glad you got your hands on this🙏🏼✌🏼
Don't forget to put a small timer on the transmitter. There is no warning for battery drain and you'll want to have it on the ground before the battery dies.
Love my eachine slightly smaller predecessor to this and would say it's one of the best RC planes ever. It can even handle a surprising amount of wind given it's small size. Just had to get this deluxe version of a winning bird. Thanks, used your code and also had another since I shop at BG lots in the past and got it for $75 shipped.
I will say, the eachine p51 practically floats compared to this one. I have both and this one needs to fly a little faster to stay in the air. Still flies smoothly
One nit-pick on the details is that the Red Tail Mustangs were flown by the Tuskegee Airmen, all of whom were black, while the pilot figure in this model is white. When WWII started, blacks in the military were relegated to mostly menial duties, and there was a heavy bias that they were not capable of handling such demanding tasks as piloting fighter aircraft. The Tuskegee Airmen helped break down many of the initial barriers to integration in the military, and distinguished themselves with exemplary performance on many combat missions. Again, I'm being nit-picky, but those brave men deserve to be remembered for who they were, and all that they stood and fought for.
I totally agree 👍🏻 with you. When we can represent our black heroes in this hobby planes, cars, boats etc . The more money the the rc industry can produce.
It would have been a very nice touch and true attention to both detail and history if they chose a different skin color for the pilot. That’s a very fair and true point Hoomi! We are so grateful for All who have served to fight for the freedoms we enjoy every day! 🇺🇸💯❤️⚓️
If you are interested in this plane, go for it! It's an amazing plane! Flies so good! What I did was unplug all the lights except, the wingtip lights and the underlight. Did i mention that it is SUPER durable? It's a real beast. It's an amazing airplane! 10/10!
That’s a good point, that I honestly wish I would have mentioned in our video. All the lights can selectively be plugged in, and there is a light button on the radio! 👍😁😎💯⚓️
BGdc2b64 Use this code and it’ll knock off $30!👍💯⚓️ Questioning our honesty is a little harsh… Banggood had a deal on the ones in the US warehouse. They sold out really fast. So it defaulted to the only other option, which costs more. However we went to bat for everyone and got a new coupon code… even for those who accuse us of bad things….. ❤️⚓️
A small retractable landing gear would be a super cool upgrade for this bird 🤩 Very nice fligher, thank you for all the Videos and your content RC Rocks🤟
Salutations Saylors! I currently have four (4) XK airplanes, P-40 Warhawk, T-28 Trojan, F8F Bearcat “Rare Bear”, and the larger J3 Cub “Skylark”. I have not yet assembled the J3 Cub, but it has a brushless motor and is very detailed. Of the three (3) smaller ones, the F8F “Rare Bear” is my favorite, and it flies the best of the three also, however, it does not have a brushless motor, and neither do the others. It does fly very well though. I have been contemplating purchasing this P-51 for some time, and now that you have reviewed it for us, I think I will be adding it to my collection, although I also have a UMX P-51 with the 19” inch wingspan and brushless motor, and I also have their smaller P-51 with the 16” inch wingspan and the brushed motor, and it was my first P-51, and I have flown it many times for years. This one looks like a winner, and I really like P-51’s and this one is ideally suited for night flying. Thanks for sharing! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨✈️
I had one of these and I couldn't get it to fly as well out of 6g mode as yours did. I found the front landing gear to be weak. The stock radio really holds this back.
All fair points. I didn’t remove the battery at all to charge it, which might have helped my CG? Trust me, I was very surprised by the great performance out of stabilized mode 💯 Sorry to hear your experience was not as great as mine! Have had some others in the comments say otherwise, so is there a chance you got a bit of a lemon? Might be worth a second shot? 👍💯⚓️
I modify this XK A280 to 3s with a buck converter to supply 8.4 volts to the receiver, a 12 amp esc and a 7X4E propeller. This provides unlimited vertical and impressive speed passes, will also giving the opportunity to fly at low throttle settings for more relaxed flight. A GNB 3 cell high voltage 380mAH pack rounds out this rocket with perfect C.G. and virtually no impact to total weight.
Why would you need a buck converter if the esc has a BEC that puts out 5v? The reciever can only handle 5v same with the servos 6v max. Why is it not running off of the esc bec? That makes no sense?
The BEC on my cheap 12 amp ESC only provides .5 amps at 5 volts which is not enough to run the XKA280 reliably. The stock ESC on the XK does not have ANY BEC circuit. The red wire from the stock ESC is a direct connection to the battery positive lead. With the designed 2S battery, that provides 8.4 to 7.? volts to the receiver as the battery drains. The LED lights alone on this plane draw over 300 mA when on (not trivial in my opinion). Add servos and receiver current drains then any BEC circuit for this plane would need to provide over 500 mA and at least 7.2 volts and optimally 8.4 volts. Guess what? That little buck converter fits the bill perfectly. Make sense now?
@@FarmerFpv Being perfectly honest, I thought I could get away with the BEC on the ESC, but a few seconds with the LED lights on, and the ESC was very hot. The 500 mA label on the Cheap quad copter ESC clearly mean MAX .5 amps, not sustained. Necessitating the need for the buck.
Unfortunately they already increased the price to $136 but probably still a good deal. Wish I could fly these with a Spectrum transmitter. Is it under 250g? Could not find weight in the info pages and you did not seem to add a remote ID module? I totally support the AMA and all the great things they do. I read my Model Aviation magazine cover to cover every month. You talk about it in almost every flying video. Regarding the insurance- it would be nice if you told the full story - that it is second to homeowners insurance, which makes it non applicable to probably 95% of those in the hobby.
They do fly with the spectrum receiver that has the Sbus port and a dsm port forspectrum 3.3v that you can plug in a spectrum satellite receiver and use your regular spectrum tx or other regularly used brands ring the sbus port
Good review! I've had one for a few months now, very nice for the price. FAA doesn't consider this one a "drone", it's under 250 grams all up weight...at least not yet so no R.I.D. "transponder" needed.
You guys should really look at the Volantex 500mm mustang. Similar to that green 400mm mustang you just reviewed but it is brushless, runs on 2s, steerable tail wheel. It is more scale and is just overall an upgraded 400mm warbird. I predict in the near future these brushless 500mm upgraded warbirds will start to replace the eachine/Volantex/rage etc 400mm series. Excited to see what comes next
This plane is awesome! I've had about 3 or 4 flights now (first rc plane for me). Crashed a loooot lol. But this thing has survived with just the fuel tanks breaking off (easy fix with some glue). Thanks for this video!
Somebody commented about the led lights, I checked it and they draw about 350 mA, so not insignificant. I counted 39 led lights in total so 350/39 is a bit less than 10 mA each, so sounds right. Motor draw is significantly more, but with the lights out, should go farther, and you can turn them off.
The wing lights have a connector to the receiver that you don't have to actually connect. The ones on the fuselage appear to turn red when the battery is low, since there's no timer it kinda helps. I could be wrong, maybe there's a pattern to it. I only had mine out once for two flights. I did leave the wing lights off for the battery draw reason.
I bought one on Amazon and paid about $150 for it. A couple days later the price went down to $111 so I bought another at that lower price and returned the first one 😂😂 it’s a fun plane. If anyone is wondering it will run 3s 450mah
3S would be super cool on this plane! I think that says a lot that a person would even pay $150 for it! It’s honestly worth it, but a steal at this price 😁 Appreciate your input on this one. Thanks a lot for stopping by! 👍💯😎⚓️
Hi guys - i flew this on a UMX 3s battery . I did not blow up. I got around 5 mins flight. However the battery swelled and was a little hot. But i then realised i ran the battery down to 5% ! So that was most probably the cause of the swelling? Keep up the great flying.
Wow lights, camera, action. Looks great, if it's got lights like that you HAVE to do a night flight. Handled the wind pretty well. Would you consider this beginner friendly, I don't recall if you said 🤔 or not. Again really looks great. No video popped up at end. ⚓️⚓️👍💛🧡💚👍🤔👍⚓️⚓️.
@TheRcSaylors sorry for being absent for a while. You and Abbys content is always inspiring and yall have done soo much for the rc community! THANK YOU!
Just so good to see you back! Hope life and all is well! We’ve got some goofy fun videos planned in the future. Life’s too short not to have fun with it, and this is a great hobby to have and share with others!! 😁😁💯⚓️
I picked one up about 7 months ago and on the 3rd day of owning it i decided to go out for a night flight and haven't seen it since 🤦😂 great airplane thou
reminds me, of when drones were new. My friend brought over his new drone as we live adjacent to some sports fields... well his first flight lasted like 3 seconds, in which the drone flew up and then down as hard is it could into the ground, basically turning it into plastic confetti.
@@TheRcSaylors yall just sold out China warehouse too 😆 it's now preorder only but you enter the new code it takes the price up to 179.99 then the coupon code equals 74.99 making total 107.10 after taxes and insurance fee. 😊 Thanks for coming through!
Yes, I definitely should have mentioned in this video that there is a light button. You can make them flash, or turn them off with the press of a button on your radio 👍💯⚓️
Had tons of fun with the volantex p51. I'm trying to find more of that same size but no luck so far. The ones I did fly i crashed and broke due to calm then sudden 40mph + winds within 5 minutes of flight.
It's a nice flier for beginners, but they need to change the buttons for the gyro for beginner, intermediate, and off. A 3-way toggle like the 400 mm warbirds would be nicer.
I don’t think it’ll bind to Spektrum, sadly. I believe Spektrum would sell more radios if they opened it up a bit more and made that easier for people to do! 👍💯⚓️
These were fully stocked in the U.S. for $99 and our coupon code made them even cheaper. After they sold out, they were available in the China warehouse but the price was higher. We still have a working coupon code in the China warehouse too. Happy Flying! 👍💯😎⚓️
FYI-coupon code doesn’t work. I get this error “This coupon can only be used in USA Warehouse”. I’m in the US. There’s no option other than China though 🤷♂️
Not sure if i got a crook one but every time i fly it it requires lots of trimming sometimes in the same session so sitting on the fence with this brand. Regards Chris
Not bad but i think better solutuon is the Kootai ki84. Cost about 140 Euro, is bigger without the led lights and 2 batteries. Flight time is also at 20 minutes. At this Plane only 7 minutes and there is only one batterie. Could you test the kootai ki84? I am interested longer time at this but i wait for CZ stock because i am from Austria. Nice Greets 🇦🇹
It's not the $99 and some change now on that site. Yes amazing price it when it's normally around the $265 range (on their online store). Even for the non-sale price, for what you getting is worth it. 😎🤔😊
Not at all! Should be perfect, though you may have to seat all of the FPV gear “underneath” the bottom part of the cockpit if that makes sense. Will likely need to take that pilot out too, but ai believe it would work! 👍💯😎⚓️
I have a video showing exactly how I put an FPV setup on this plane. ua-cam.com/video/adoIKeDx34g/v-deo.html Since this video I have put the camera in the cockpit with no problems ua-cam.com/video/o0ikLUyLRHc/v-deo.html
Great review Nate! Quick question, on the Banggood site it says it’s only shipping from the BG Chinese warehouses, therefore the coupon code doesn’t apply since the plane is shipped from BG in China. Do you have a link or any info on whether or not this plane ships from a Banggood warehouse that’s in the US? Or can your followers get a coupon code that will work from Chinese BG warehouses from one of your Banggood representatives that support the RC Saylor’s channel?
I suspect Nate n Abby are very aware of the situation and are trying their best to address it. I'm also gonna go out on a limb and wager that Bonehead Biden's latest Tariff increase (which I'm not personality against) has something to do with this knee-jerk price increase. 🤔
Darn. Im putting wireless lights on my 750mm mustang, but the lights are $20 EACH rather than $20 set like it freaking advertises. So i need to spend $60 more to get full lights, but...its cool...its cool. It has a spare channel. Would you vote retracts or flaps?
@CrstnJdiKnight thank you for the vote. I will order retracts for the mustang. I wonder if RCSaylors would consider building off of the cheap mustang to see how it is
@CrstnJdiKnight yeah, I plan to do that at some point, but I need to buy a 6-channel receiver that pairs with my transmitter. If it was balsa with hollow (cantilever) wings, I could add a servo to drop the external fuel tanks. But the flaps are a bit of a problem, because the ailerons have torsion bars that go along the whole wing, I don't know if I can fit another one for flaps, or if I have to change the aileron drive.
Thank you so much!! Now that definitely says something! I love hearing feedback from people like this 👍💯 But we are also very grateful for your support 🙏 Happy Flying! 😎⚓️
I used a kensun satellite to bind to my NX 8 this week. It appears that I get manual and "safe" on the normal channel. Rates appear ok too, yet to fly.
Yes, the include receiver has an sbus port for futaba and dsm for spektrum. Plug in and bind. I verified I have safe mode, asx3 mode and manual mode on a 3 way switch. In manual, the rates are really low. I have not figured out a way to turn the lights off, they are on solid.
@@tygerman42 I was able to change the lights with EdgeTx. They are on channel 9 and I use a momentary switch with a value of 100 to switch between the 3 options (on, blink, off)
Really COOL P-51, but I'm up in the air about ALL of those lights!! It might as well be a Medivac plane!! I don't know for sure, but I don't think the REAL one had that many lights!! Can't believe I'm complaining about lights and I don't even fly!! Saylors you are the best for coupon codes and everything else you do!! Thank you, honestly!! 💟👍😘
I’m a certified FOOL for lights, but even I agree the lights on this one are a bit too much… exhaust manifolds and machine guns?? 🤣 My intention was going to be to use some Flat Gunmetal touch-up paint around the manifolds and guns, only leaving just the tips of the pipes/barrels unpainted. But seeing as BG is playing the ol’ Bait-n-Switch with us, I won’t be buying this bird anyway, unfortunately. At least not from THEM! 😤
So what you are saying is that I can buy a plane that is about half the price of another with "stabilized Flight adjustment" with batteries and a controller!?!? Because it's all about "Brand" ?
You can use Sbus Futaba or a Spektrum satellite Receiver. They plug right in and you can then use the Multiprotocol. Blowy Fly RC has a video called "How to Bind XK A220 P40 to RadioMaster Multiprotocol. micro receiver Wltoys RC plane" It is the same Protocol as the XK 280 P51 Mustang. I hope that helps you.
I was having problems checking out last night and the plane was at $99 before the discount code and now this morning it’s at $135.99. What’s wrong with these companies these days?

You need to fly it without the landing gear and drop tanks. It performs so much better. You should also fly it on a 3s 400mah and it rips.
Yes i tried it on a umx 3s. It makes it better thru wind. Also better power to get out of probs. I also increased mechanical aileron throw.

It would have been a very nice touch and true attention to both detail and history if they chose a different skin color for the pilot. That’s a very fair and true point Hoomi! We are so grateful for All who have served to fight for the freedoms we enjoy every day! 🇺🇸💯❤️⚓️
I got one!!! Of course through your link! Cant wait to fly! Thanks for showing us this awesome plane❤
Just got mine use your code and it cost $91 .64 wow gr8 value thank you
Abby and Nate, y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace ✌️
Thanks Ben!! You rock brother! 👍💯😎⚓️
🤜💥🤛
If you are interested in this plane, go for it! It's an amazing plane!
Flies so good! What I did was unplug all the lights except, the wingtip lights and the underlight.
Did i mention that it is SUPER durable? It's a real beast.
It's an amazing airplane! 10/10!
That’s a good point, that I honestly wish I would have mentioned in our video. All the lights can selectively be plugged in, and there is a light button on the radio! 👍😁😎💯⚓️
$99.00 WHERE ????? I’m in California and selling for $135.00 .. Thought you was honest people…. Maybe you should make another video and explain

Questioning our honesty is a little harsh… Banggood had a deal on the ones in the US warehouse. They sold out really fast. So it defaulted to the only other option, which costs more. However we went to bat for everyone and got a new coupon code… even for those who accuse us of bad things….. ❤️⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors You could pin this comment so everyone can see ;) Haha I'm joking, really love your videos though! Congrats on 600k!
A small retractable landing gear would be a super cool upgrade for this bird 🤩
Very nice fligher, thank you for all the Videos and your content
RC Rocks🤟
I bought this last year nate and it is absolutely a great flier 👍🏻 I run a 2s 650mah 90c and it loves it😁
Got one. Couldn't resist. I think that they over did the lights but on the other hand .........night flight coming up. 😃
It’s a little excessive, sure! But yes, at night you’ll Love them!! 👍💯🤩😎⚓️
Salutations Saylors!
I currently have four (4) XK airplanes, P-40 Warhawk, T-28 Trojan, F8F Bearcat “Rare Bear”, and the larger J3 Cub “Skylark”.
I have not yet assembled the J3 Cub, but it has a brushless motor and is very detailed. Of the three (3) smaller ones, the F8F “Rare Bear” is my favorite, and it flies the best of the three also, however, it does not have a brushless motor, and neither do the others. It does fly very well though. I have been contemplating purchasing this P-51 for some time, and now that you have reviewed it for us, I think I will be adding it to my collection, although I also have a UMX P-51 with the 19” inch wingspan and brushless motor, and I also have their smaller P-51 with the 16” inch wingspan and the brushed motor, and it was my first P-51, and I have flown it many times for years.
This one looks like a winner, and I really like P-51’s and this one is ideally suited for night flying.
Thanks for sharing!
Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨✈️
July 3 price at Banggood is $94.99 from US warehouse. No coupon. Ordered mine July 2. 🛩
Just ordered mine yesterday too can’t wait for it to come in
I bought two a year ago for $155 Australian great little flyer verry happy with them
I had one of these and I couldn't get it to fly as well out of 6g mode as yours did. I found the front landing gear to be weak. The stock radio really holds this back.
All fair points. I didn’t remove the battery at all to charge it, which might have helped my CG? Trust me, I was very surprised by the great performance out of stabilized mode 💯 Sorry to hear your experience was not as great as mine! Have had some others in the comments say otherwise, so is there a chance you got a bit of a lemon? Might be worth a second shot? 👍💯⚓️
I modify this XK A280 to 3s with a buck converter to supply 8.4 volts to the receiver, a 12 amp esc and a 7X4E propeller. This provides unlimited vertical and impressive speed passes, will also giving the opportunity to fly at low throttle settings for more relaxed flight. A GNB 3 cell high voltage 380mAH pack rounds out this rocket with perfect C.G. and virtually no impact to total weight.
Why would you need a buck converter if the esc has a BEC that puts out 5v? The reciever can only handle 5v same with the servos 6v max. Why is it not running off of the esc bec? That makes no sense?
The BEC on my cheap 12 amp ESC only provides .5 amps at 5 volts which is not enough to run the XKA280 reliably. The stock ESC on the XK does not have ANY BEC circuit. The red wire from the stock ESC is a direct connection to the battery positive lead. With the designed 2S battery, that provides 8.4 to 7.? volts to the receiver as the battery drains. The LED lights alone on this plane draw over 300 mA when on (not trivial in my opinion). Add servos and receiver current drains then any BEC circuit for this plane would need to provide over 500 mA and at least 7.2 volts and optimally 8.4 volts. Guess what? That little buck converter fits the bill perfectly. Make sense now?
@@FarmerFpv Being perfectly honest, I thought I could get away with the BEC on the ESC, but a few seconds with the LED lights on, and the ESC was very hot. The 500 mA label on the Cheap quad copter ESC clearly mean MAX .5 amps, not sustained. Necessitating the need for the buck.
Unfortunately they already increased the price to $136 but probably still a good deal. Wish I could fly these with a Spectrum transmitter. Is it under 250g? Could not find weight in the info pages and you did not seem to add a remote ID module?
I totally support the AMA and all the great things they do. I read my Model Aviation magazine cover to cover every month. You talk about it in almost every flying video. Regarding the insurance- it would be nice if you told the full story - that it is second to homeowners insurance, which makes it non applicable to probably 95% of those in the hobby.
They do fly with the spectrum receiver that has the Sbus port and a dsm port forspectrum 3.3v that you can plug in a spectrum satellite receiver and use your regular spectrum tx or other regularly used brands ring the sbus port

Good review! I've had one for a few months now, very nice for the price. FAA doesn't consider this one a "drone", it's under 250 grams all up weight...at least not yet so no R.I.D. "transponder" needed.
You guys should really look at the Volantex 500mm mustang. Similar to that green 400mm mustang you just reviewed but it is brushless, runs on 2s, steerable tail wheel. It is more scale and is just overall an upgraded 400mm warbird. I predict in the near future these brushless 500mm upgraded warbirds will start to replace the eachine/Volantex/rage etc 400mm series. Excited to see what comes next
Absolutely love this one I have it and the price is absolutely amazing for what you get. What a beautiful flyer
This plane is awesome! I've had about 3 or 4 flights now (first rc plane for me). Crashed a loooot lol. But this thing has survived with just the fuel tanks breaking off (easy fix with some glue). Thanks for this video!
Just instantly brought one! Love my warlords but this seems better
Attention to detail? It has a green and red light bar on the fuselage. How many of these do you actually keep and not give away or throw away.
Im planning on getting this. TY kindly. Happy trails.
Happy trails and Happy Flying! 👍💯😎⚓️
The lights are cool but that smooth take off sold me.
And it wasn’t a fluke! Nice and smooth every time! In the wind!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Somebody commented about the led lights, I checked it and they draw about 350 mA, so not insignificant. I counted 39 led lights in total so 350/39 is a bit less than 10 mA each, so sounds right. Motor draw is significantly more, but with the lights out, should go farther, and you can turn them off.
The wing lights have a connector to the receiver that you don't have to actually connect. The ones on the fuselage appear to turn red when the battery is low, since there's no timer it kinda helps. I could be wrong, maybe there's a pattern to it. I only had mine out once for two flights. I did leave the wing lights off for the battery draw reason.
Does it bind with a 4-1 multi module?
Yes V119 E911 something like that
I bought one on Amazon and paid about $150 for it. A couple days later the price went down to $111 so I bought another at that lower price and returned the first one 😂😂 it’s a fun plane. If anyone is wondering it will run 3s 450mah
3S would be super cool on this plane! I think that says a lot that a person would even pay $150 for it! It’s honestly worth it, but a steal at this price 😁 Appreciate your input on this one. Thanks a lot for stopping by! 👍💯😎⚓️
Another FUN FUN FUN plane to play with
Hi guys - i flew this on a UMX 3s battery . I did not blow up. I got around 5 mins flight. However the battery swelled and was a little hot. But i then realised i ran the battery down to 5% ! So that was most probably the cause of the swelling? Keep up the great flying.
Why are y’all hating on it? Just unplug all the light except the wing-tip lights and the u der light, It’s one of the smoothest flying planes ever
Theirs also a button which can turn off all the lights
Can you turn off body lights leaving wing tips on?
@@ahmersarwar yes! That’s what i did
You could just plug in the wingtip lights and nothing else
Love the reviews from you and your Mrs. God bless
Thank you Morph 🙏😁💯⚓️
Which would you recommend out of the XK and the Volantex 750mm? Im stuck and cant decide
Wow lights, camera, action. Looks great, if it's got lights like that you HAVE to do a night flight. Handled the wind pretty well. Would you consider this beginner friendly, I don't recall if you said 🤔 or not. Again really looks great. No video popped up at end. ⚓️⚓️👍💛🧡💚👍🤔👍⚓️⚓️.
Ooh, thank you. We need to fix that 👍💯⚓️
Very cool RC airplane !!!
Just bought this through your link, thank you
Awesome! Thanks for the support, and happy flying! 👍🙏😎💯⚓️

That plane is great! Although I don't have one my friend does while I have the goolrc biplane. Both are very great though
Finally, a cheap warbird with night lights! 🙌
Yes!! And bright enough to actually fly at night!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Flies nice for the price guys. I heard that some people cut 2 blades off and run a umx 3s battery in it. It then scoots along nice..

I picked one up about 7 months ago and on the 3rd day of owning it i decided to go out for a night flight and haven't seen it since 🤦😂 great airplane thou
reminds me, of when drones were new. My friend brought over his new drone as we live adjacent to some sports fields... well his first flight lasted like 3 seconds, in which the drone flew up and then down as hard is it could into the ground, basically turning it into plastic confetti.
Good review neat looking RC Plane
Cheaper on Amazon. There not allowing you to switch to US warehouse and charging 135 and not letting us use your code.

Awesome plane, lol hmm I’m tempted.. can you turn the lights off though? I don’t like the lights for me it takes away from the scale look.
Yes, I definitely should have mentioned in this video that there is a light button. You can make them flash, or turn them off with the press of a button on your radio 👍💯⚓️
This is good value in the USA but here in Australia its $260 .
I'd much prefer mini retracts than randomly placed lights tbh. Otherwise it seems great. 👍
Nate I might have to get it myself it sure is sharp
This looks great fun👍👍
Had tons of fun with the volantex p51. I'm trying to find more of that same size but no luck so far. The ones I did fly i crashed and broke due to calm then sudden 40mph + winds within 5 minutes of flight.
can you get bnf version for dsmx2 spektrum?
It's a nice flier for beginners, but they need to change the buttons for the gyro for beginner, intermediate, and off. A 3-way toggle like the 400 mm warbirds would be nicer.
I love your content
Really hope they have a Corsair Model !!!!!
This came out close to 2 years ago and I've been hoping for a Corsair too. Unfotunately, as time goes on, I am losing hope.
Thanks for the video.Have you tried to bind it to a spectrum transmitter?
I don’t think it’ll bind to Spektrum, sadly. I believe Spektrum would sell more radios if they opened it up a bit more and made that easier for people to do! 👍💯⚓️
Ban Good must have liked your video to because they bumped the price up to $179
These were fully stocked in the U.S. for $99 and our coupon code made them even cheaper. After they sold out, they were available in the China warehouse but the price was higher. We still have a working coupon code in the China warehouse too. Happy Flying! 👍💯😎⚓️
FYI-coupon code doesn’t work. I get this error “This coupon can only be used in USA Warehouse”. I’m in the US. There’s no option other than China though 🤷♂️
Not sure if i got a crook one but every time i fly it it requires lots of trimming sometimes in the same session so sitting on the fence with this brand. Regards Chris
Not bad but i think better solutuon is the Kootai ki84. Cost about 140 Euro, is bigger without the led lights and 2 batteries. Flight time is also at 20 minutes. At this Plane only 7 minutes and there is only one batterie. Could you test the kootai ki84? I am interested longer time at this but i wait for CZ stock because i am from Austria. Nice Greets 🇦🇹
Ive seen this on AliExpress and it goes up for 100 to 120
Great review guys.with a simple mod Ive seen this plain converted to 3s for more speed and power. Great looking plane
Link to that mod info?
@stevecompton9644 the channel is motorutube.
motorutube. The video is xk a280 p 51 3s conversion.
Just need to install a 7.5 volt beck between the efc and flight controller
It's not the $99 and some change now on that site. Yes amazing price it when it's normally around the $265 range (on their online store).

Do you think this is too small or light for a fpv unit in the cockpit?
Not at all! Should be perfect, though you may have to seat all of the FPV gear “underneath” the bottom part of the cockpit if that makes sense. Will likely need to take that pilot out too, but ai believe it would work! 👍💯😎⚓️
I have a video showing exactly how I put an FPV setup on this plane.

Now this, I love! Thanks StickJockeyFPV for sharing your set up! 👍💯⚓️
Setting the bar high would have been adding wheel retracts while keeping the current price of $99. Just saying.
that’s pretty much impossible unless you want a cheap, bad plane
@@Tommy06235 SOOOO true
Great review Nate! Quick question, on the Banggood site it says it’s only shipping from the BG Chinese warehouses, therefore the coupon code doesn’t apply since the plane is shipped from BG in China. Do you have a link or any info on whether or not this plane ships from a Banggood warehouse that’s in the US? Or can your followers get a coupon code that will work from Chinese BG warehouses from one of your Banggood representatives that support the RC Saylor’s channel?
I suspect Nate n Abby are very aware of the situation and are trying their best to address it.
I'm also gonna go out on a limb and wager that Bonehead Biden's latest Tariff increase (which I'm not personality against) has something to do with this knee-jerk price increase. 🤔
It came out over a year ago..used to cost $139
Darn. Im putting wireless lights on my 750mm mustang, but the lights are $20 EACH rather than $20 set like it freaking advertises. So i need to spend $60 more to get full lights, but...its cool...its cool. It has a spare channel. Would you vote retracts or flaps?
On this one , I'd go retract 😇
@CrstnJdiKnight thank you for the vote. I will order retracts for the mustang. I wonder if RCSaylors would consider building off of the cheap mustang to see how it is
@@xxskippernate409xx6 would be worth a consideration for that. 😇👍
For me though,I'd always add flaps for scale and realism . 😇😁
@CrstnJdiKnight yeah, I plan to do that at some point, but I need to buy a 6-channel receiver that pairs with my transmitter. If it was balsa with hollow (cantilever) wings, I could add a servo to drop the external fuel tanks. But the flaps are a bit of a problem, because the ailerons have torsion bars that go along the whole wing, I don't know if I can fit another one for flaps, or if I have to change the aileron drive.
@@xxskippernate409xx6 ahh. I didn't take into account of channel limitations or flap/wing design. 😅😇

So cool just bout this plane a week ago
Awesome!! Did you have a coupon code for yours? You’re going to love it! 👍💯😎⚓️
I love the idea and the price even better. I just hate to have another rtf controller. Can it be bound to NX 8?
I used a kensun satellite to bind to my NX 8 this week. It appears that I get manual and "safe" on the normal channel. Rates appear ok too, yet to fly.
@@tygerman42 Does that plug into the included receiver?
Yes, the include receiver has an sbus port for futaba and dsm for spektrum. Plug in and bind. I verified I have safe mode, asx3 mode and manual mode on a 3 way switch. In manual, the rates are really low. I have not figured out a way to turn the lights off, they are on solid.
@@tygerman42 I was able to change the lights with EdgeTx. They are on channel 9 and I use a momentary switch with a value of 100 to switch between the 3 options (on, blink, off)
Really COOL P-51, but I'm up in the air about ALL of those lights!! It might as well be a Medivac plane!! I don't know for sure, but I don't think the REAL one had that many lights!! Can't believe I'm complaining about lights and I don't even fly!! Saylors you are the best for coupon codes and everything else you do!! Thank you, honestly!! 💟👍😘
I’m a certified FOOL for lights, but even I agree the lights on this one are a bit too much… exhaust manifolds and machine guns?? 🤣
My intention was going to be to use some Flat Gunmetal touch-up paint around the manifolds and guns, only leaving just the tips of the pipes/barrels unpainted.
But seeing as BG is playing the ol’ Bait-n-Switch with us, I won’t be buying this bird anyway, unfortunately. At least not from THEM! 😤
Wish all these great planes where that price for me here in Aus. Same plane to ship from China to me over $200 Aus dollars.
It should be lots less if the powers that be, we're not 😁😁
So what you are saying is that I can buy a plane that is about half the price of another with "stabilized Flight adjustment" with batteries and a controller!?!? Because it's all about "Brand" ?
Anyone know what protocol this uses???
Wondering if we will be able to bind to a multiprotocol module and use our own tx with expo and end limits.
Apologies! Double post
You can use Sbus Futaba or a Spektrum satellite Receiver. They plug right in and you can then use the Multiprotocol. Blowy Fly RC has a video called "How to Bind XK A220 P40 to RadioMaster Multiprotocol. micro receiver Wltoys RC plane" It is the same Protocol as the XK 280 P51 Mustang. I hope that helps you.
Please review the XFly Twinliner. I am curious if it's a good plane because it's the only airliner of that size. The AL37 wouldn't fit on my runway.
I was having problems checking out last night and the plane was at $99 before the discount code and now this morning it’s at $135.99. What’s wrong with these companies these days?
