This plane is tough and flies beautifully. It is sketchy to land as you say. I acquired one of these that was severely crashed. The main wing snapped between the body and outer wing panel, the body was broken in a twisted manor and a flap torn off. I took this abandoned crash and repaired it back to flying condition. It is one of my most satisfying aircraft to fly. Beautiful in the sky, fun to remember that it was an abandoned pile that broke someone's heart, but reborn through determination and TLC. Thanks Brian & Camera Crew for all you do!
Awesome! Glad you got her fixed up, and totally agree - fixed from the brink of death, makes for a very satisfying plane!!!
Probably my favorite day of clouds in any video you’ve made. What a beautiful gift!
I love it when the prop makes that sound like it has an engine. Makes it more realistic and I can tell exactly how much throttle is applied just like the real planes.
Agree- even though it means it's WAY out of balance ;)
that's usually when i land to change/balance prop. If you keep it in the air long enough like that it will vibrate the motor mount screws loose and/or damage the air frame. just watch rc sailors , they love that 😆lol. Im JK, sailors are great.
@@PhilBender612 😁🤣😂 Right. It is a cool sound till something blows up lol Probably not very good on the stator and bearings either.
@@EJ-74 agreed. the entire airframe gets rattled, stressed and things shake loose
@@seanmolloy9422 Like a old Harley Davidson Something's going to fall apart eventually 🤷 🤣
The shots of it swooping down and then flying toward camera in line with the road were superb.
Thanks! I agree ;)
I love your postings and especially how you don’t filter out the accidents. It teaches us what to do when crashes occur and how to analyze what was damaged and trouble shoot. Love it. Do you guys have repair only videos. Would sure love to watch them
Thanks Anthony, and glad you enjoy learning from my mistakes. As you mentioned, this is a GREAT way for all of us to learn from my mistakes. Might help someone else save a $700+ accident, but even if not, it's great for a laugh ;)
...and don't worry, there's a lot more coming where that's from!!!
Beautiful flight, beautiful plane, beautiful setting - thanks for the review!
BTW my compliments to the cinematographer! I know how hard it is to track, zoom, and frame a shot, especially with a fast subject - but she is so good you don't even notice it, just a perfectly framed shot all the time - brava!
Thanks, and she is very good!
One of the most exact and breathtaking “camera crew” jobs I’ve seen …. Dude
, THIS PLANE’s trade off for beauty is its difficulty to land….. thanks for sharing
YES! and YES! Thanks Cali RC Pilot ;)
I am always impressed by ability to fly in such close quarters. I would be in the trees, power lines, God forbid the house. 😅
Yeaaaaa! Another great Brian Phillips production for me to enjoy! Thanks Brian and camera crew!
Thanks Rick!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC no problem Byron! 😂
I think it's high time "camera crew" is promoted to Crew Chief. Sorry Brian, Chief pilot and assembler will have to suffice for you.🤣 In all seriousness, love your videos, keep up the great work.
Thanks ;) Crew Chief - LOL Nice
Your the man Brian,,, love back up after crash,,, fast,,, The wife is a jewel,,, You are blessed,,,
Wow! A million miles from the little GWS Mustang my son and I bought to learn 4 channel flying all those years ago.....
TOTALLY!
Nice job both of you , Sorry about the spill , but glad to see the damage was minor . It is such a beautiful plane and especially in that livery .
Thanks for being honest with you opinions . That's what's most important to me . I'd like to see more of it from other reviewers and creators .
I've had mine NIB for several months now waiting for my skills and confidence to improve. I feel ready now , but I'm going to wait a bit more . It was nice to see you fly it and get some great footage .
This P-51 is one of the harder planes I have to fly. I'd highly suggest the 1.2m P-51D June Night, if you're a new or newer pilot. Amazing flying experience, and so much less stress...not to mention it's a lot less cash ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the advice again . The 1.2 MM is high on the list too .
I really love the P-51 and the different liveries on them as well .
The new 1.2M Corsair just got here . Wish me luck . 👍🏼
I love my eflite 1.5m P51 and Focke-Wulf. Must admit they are a little slow for a 6s powered plane. But they are tough, well built and I love how the wings clips off for Easy storage and transport. Please bring the same thing in a corsair and spitfire
1.5m Corsair and Spitfire would be amazing!
I have no idea of the sizes of kits that the P 38 Lightning, come in. So, how about the the largest that you can find with working flaps and landing gear? My favorite WWII Warbirds are F4U Corsair, P38 Lightning, and P51 Mustang, in that order. I've always been interested in the hobby. In 1980 I had a gas powered fly-by-wire F15 Eagle that I bought from Western Auto. The hobby just out grew me I was 13 at the time. Life happens. Thanks for the prompt reply last time. Keep up the good work and hope to see more content.
As for the available P-38's out there today, we don't work with any of the companies that sell them, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with them...we just haven't had an introduction to the right people at those distributors or MFG'ers. Like I mentioned before, we'd love to do one if you have one in particular that really stands out. Please do share, and I will try to ask them about the plane.
P.S. If you link to it, the message will go into a "HELD FOR REVIEW" screen - don't worry, I can pull it out of quarantine when it gets here and I notice it. I'll be keeping an eye out for this.
I just watched the assembly of a Flite Line RC 1600mm P-38 Lightning. With working flaps, landing gear, and LED's. I already know that it's not a beginner aircraft. But, I'd like to see an accomplished RC pilot run it through it's paces. Just letting you know that I found a SEEMINGLY worthy plane to test.
*FlightLineRC* Sorry about the typo. 🤪
HI Brian. Just bought this plane eventually. Re thrust reverse, I'm sure you know but you can now get this on this plane (or any plane with an Avian ESC). All you have to do is update the firmware on the ESC. I have an NX10 but didn't get the screen on the radio to set it up. However, I used the XCA200 ESC update box to plug directly to the ESC and updated the firmware to the latest version. I could then add thrust reverse, either via the software on the computer or via the update box. You will find however that you also now get the programming screen on the radio. I'd love to see you set this up on this plane as it's clear that ground handling isn't great and thrust reverse may greatly affect your view if you can stop quickly. It would also be a great tutorial on using the XCA200 (which would probably help to sell them!) so would not be a fruitless exercise and I'd love to then see your 'third thoughts' on this plane using thrust reverse!
Yes, you're right. The Thrust Reverse would help curb the worst quality of this plane, it's ground handling, and tendency to chase me into the ditch - LOL ;)
As for AVIAN setup with the Programmer tool, but maybe only once.
Man that camera crew trusts you! However I would too I've seen you fly.. Always impressive flying you do and man does that thing sound so good on the fly by. The 1.2 just may be my next plane. Keep up the good work.
Looks great amongst the clouds. So cool convert to two blade.
LOL - "Automatic" conversion, no less!
I have one been a while since I flew it but it’s a lot of fun to fly super exciting everytime!
yeah!
Man this thing is so stinkin gorgeous. I have the FMS 1450 V8 P-51 and it too is gorgeous. But it is lacking in power on 4s. This thing on the other hand is a beast. Great video, Brian and Camera Crew!
Thanks!
Looks tough now. Warbirds should show off their scars with pride 👍
That said, I am thoroughly convinced you're correct in saying it's very hard to land that plane. Flying is great. Landing? Not so much. Great job recovering and repairing. Thanks for showing it all- the glory and the gorey
the plane has a halo of light around it ...sweet!!!
yeah!
Gorgeous touch and go's on the road. I'm glad you clarified your hard to fly comment. It's not a hard plane to fly... it easy to fly. It's the take-off that's precarious... you have to be on that rudder for take-off... and do not gun it or you'll be torqueing to the left. Landing is a tiny bit easier than take-off but you have to keep the power on all the way and let it roll out to a stop... actually flying it on the ground... or it will spin... and the gear will buckle.
I also find that this plane gets into heavy stalls QUICKER than most Eflite planes...but as with any plane - you gotta keep the wing flying, or it won't keep flying ;)
Very cool 😎! Nice flying!
By chance have you flown the Freewing F35? I’ve been checking it out but have only seen videos of people crashing it. Lol. Which might be a bad sign!
Enjoyed your scale flying. What a nice look!
Thanks Craig!
Another fantastic video! I completely agree with you assessment about this not being a good beginner plane and totally appreciate your honesty when sharing your opinions.
Glad you get it. I love Horizon Hobby planes, and most at the "best in class" but I just have a hard time landing this otherwise great plane! I also like to crash into weeds too - LOL!!!!
A fun video. I have the plane and love it. A bit of a challenge here and there but fun to fly and it looks great. Also, I suck landing tail draggers in anything but grass🙂
Hello, Lucky! So glad for you that damage was so minimal. Kudos to Eflite, too.
Thanks, and agreed! I should have just avoided it!!!! BUT...such is [RC] life ;)
This and the FW190 are two of the best planes eflite has made in my opinion. This is definitely not a beginners plane and it demands speed for sure.
True!
Second thoughts? Except for this is the best warbird Horizon has ever come out with, there are none. Mine is two years old and she still flies beautifully. Gear has done a fantastic job holding up. Great job Brian.👊🏻
Awesome!
Always enjoying your videos! Thanks for all you do! My buddy has this plane and I typically land it half flap/TO flaps so it doesn't porpoise so much. Definitely tricky to land full flap since it wants to balloon with the tiniest amount of throttle or tip stall when you pull the power back. Moving slightly faster with half flaps seems to make it way easier for me.
Thanks, and yeah, true! Takeoff flaps are pretty effective on this bird, but to slow her insane amount of weight / momentum down, the landing flaps do a pretty good job, but the plane gets so dang un-controllable when you drop down the tail wheel!
Beautiful flight Brian besides the little crash lol. Surprised how little was broken on it! It flies great for sure and takeoff for me isn’t too hard but when I land, right as I set the tail wheel down it does become a different animal like you said 🤣. It always runs off the side and skids on the mains. Always worried that they’ll break when it does that. I got mine for $75 (long story but Horizon screwed up an order LOL) and I’ve only flown it a few times. I always debate about selling it because I can make a lot from it but I just don’t think I can. It’s so beautiful and I paid $75 out of my pocket for it 😩. Thanks Brian, great video as always!
Thanks Kyler! $75 - that's a great value!!!
That was just pure AWSOME!!!
What a beauty here Bryan and an awesome flight !
Sorry for the fake spam reply! They've been blocked.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for letting me know !
amazing plane, i have the t28 1.2 and i want this for my next one
Still use the DX-18.Broke-not-fix - not...
Big difference between the 30c and 50c 4s in this aircraft ?
I truly appreciate your reviews.My wife isn't sure after purchasing my 34th aircraft....no $ for a "new" radio...
Happy New Year!
You had a BEAUTIFUL skybox there
For sure!
Nice video and excellent camera work. I'm not a big fan of flying RC models so close to powerlines, public roads, trees and houses. Still should go to a flying field with a nice long paved runway or manicured grass strip. Makes landing the P-51 much easier. It is not the easiest plane to land.
Used to fly a lot as a young kid and took a 15 year break. Got back into with a Carbon Cub, and saw your video that helped me get all set up!
Came back to me like riding a bike. Already flying on expert mode again, and looking forward to something more capable soon.
Any recommendations on what would be a good next step that will work well with the DXS that came with the Cub?
Love the videos!
The umx p51 voodoo or the umx a-10
If a two bladed prop is faster wouldn't a no bladed prop be fast-EST? 🤣 Excellent video as always and hats off to the camera crew, she has the precision of a surgeon with that camera! I bought this plane on sale when it originally came out JUST as I was starting my RC plane hobby and I still won't touch it yet, it just scares the heck out of me LOL. I mostly fly jets but I've got 1.5m FMS P-47 that I'm going to try as my first big tail-dragger warplane and then hopefully I'll be ready for this one.
Good call - this plane is harder to fly than most of my Eflite planes. It's not hard to FLY, but more hard to land....you can grease her in for a "perfect" landing on the mains, but when you pull or drop down the tail dragger, it's a whole another thing!!! Crazy squirrel!!!
Thats what I love about your videos - you show the bad as well as the good points about a plane. Having just watched your 1.2m mustang 2nd thoughts video, my own opinion is that IN THE AIR the 1.5m looks slightly more realistic but.....you are a very experienced RC pilot and this plane obviously is more prone to stalling so for every day flying, youve shown the 1.2m would be better for me.
Fun video! Built a balsa wood kit in the late 1980's flew one time. Want to try again but so much has changed (electric) where do I start? Especially with Transmitter/Receiver?
Beutiful plane, love the colours.
They look so good in person!
Can't believe it sustained so little damage. 😱 lol I love the fact you can change the prop too 2 blades that easy and it still have good thrust. That thing sounds sweet with that unbalanced prop 😁 lol Time to break out the tape 🤣
Love the Mustang Brian 🔥👍✌️
I was happy to see it make it out of the grave after that "landing" - LOL ;)
Well I can't waite to get home and see this on. Never flown that model but have on the rf 9.5. She likes to role on takeoff but flown really well on that simulator.
The way it takes off on the RF9.5 is not quite how it does for real LOL. The simulator REALLY exaggerates the torque roll on takeoff. Does fly amazingly like you said though in the simulator and for real !
She's a handful in a few regards, but flies well...just wish she'd be more controllable on the rollout.
@@BrianPhillipsRC you did a great job on that bad boy though. Heck I like how well you are on foam fixing. 🤣
The last Friday the 13th was in May of this year and now it's the end of June... Were you contemplating not releasing this video after the crash Brian? 😂 It's all in good fun as it's good to see the durability of these big foam airplanes after a decent crash, and this 1.5m Eflite P51 flies similarly heavy, yet takes crashes much better than my FMS 1450mm P51 Mustang.
We waited to see when it would be in stock, and when we weren't competing for the same time slot with other planes ;) We do a lot of batch production, since we couldn't keep up otherwise.
Hi Brian,
Brand new to the hobby. I have been binge watching your videos. I am going to invest in a trainer. Two big recommendations have been the Apprentice and the Arrow's Bigfoot. Would you recommend one over the other?
Or if you think there is a superior trainer in the price range.
thanks for any info.
Sorry for my slow reply! Having trouble getting caught up...
Both are god choices. Flip a coin, or pick whichever makes your wife happier - LOL ;)

The exhaustive list, if you haven't seen it before "Beginner planes"
I have this plane and feel that the recommended full flap deployment is very difficult to get a good landing with. That’s just my opinion. Landing with half flaps is a different story. I can Grease landings with half flaps. Full flap landings are very pitchy and it stalls very easy. Just my observations. What are your thoughts?
That's something I'll have to look into. I've always had more difficulty with this P-51 than virtually any others I've flown, but mostly due to the squirrelly tail wheel behavior. I can get her on the mains, and walk it around just fine, but once I drop down the tail wheel, it's a total gamble.
As for flaps, for landing...I didn't even think about that being an issue...I just fly in under power. Thrust Reverse could help me get her landed on our primary runway.
Awesome job flying! Hope I can fly a big warbird like this someday. The 6s speed seems really intimidating. Was that foam safe cyanoacrylate glue you used for the repair?
6S is only as intimidating as the price tag...once you get them, they're just smaller than the plane...and of course, don't want to have to rebuy when they're like almost $200 each!
You can do it!
I must say the June night 1.2 is my favorite plane it still has the typical wingtip stalls like warbirds but it flies on Rails I think once you learn the tendencies of the1.2 then try to move up to the 1.5..... love your videos would not be flying with out you two showing me the ins and outs of flying. P.S P-51 MUSTANG FOR LIFE
I've done something like six of the 1.2m P-51's and don't have any of the issues I do with this 1.5m P-51 - it's a totally different beast!
I know this is off subject for the video, but, what is the best 2nd plane after Carbon Cub S2? Btw I love the look of the P-51, the blue and gray camo is beautiful, love your videos!
Definitely NOT this one, but if you like P-51's, get the 1.2m - that would be better
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah, I heard you talking about how this was one of the Hardest eflite planes to fly. I saw that the eflite 1.1m was a good second plane and beginner warbjrd
If your ever short on shelf liner you can also use a standard rubber band (cheap brown ones) and just double or triple it up on the battery then install on the tray as normal. You’d be surprised at how locked in it is. Plus side is the rubber band can just live on the battery… trick I picked up from years of FPV drones.
Also now I want to buy another P51 😩😂
NICE! Great idea - I will give it a shot!
Love the warbirds
They are some of the best planes to fly!
I updated my ESC and receiver long ago to get reverse thrust
Cool! Good call - I need to do this, we have the programming tool.
I unfortunately crashed my buddy's last week. Took off with flaps and it lifted off sooner than I expected without enough air speed. Stalled pretty quickly. Reminded me how little I know about war birds and flaps. Crushed my ego. That being said I did have one successful take off prior to the take off crash. I kinda want one now because I feel like it's my nemesis.
half flaps is plenty for takeoff if you have the runway length, but these are definitely stall-happy and unstable when not going bonkers fast.
Trevor - get the 1.2m and you'll be able to fly it with 1/2 - 1/3 the skill level, and it's a GREAT flying experience still. I'd highly recommend it.
P51 bit.ly/3bU5icI - June Nite 1.2m
@@BrianPhillipsRC that was in fact the first warbird I ever flew just two weeks prior and it went flawless. Gave me a false sense of security.
Brian, what is the secret to taking off with this plane? You make it look so easy. I am struggling with takeoff on the runway without it going immediately left and sometimes hitting the grass. What is your technique?
TONS of rudder....and slow as you can be on engaging to throttle. I agree it's tough, so you're definitely not off base.
@@BrianPhillipsRC did you add any more throw to the rudder? I was using low rates so it's set to 70% I think.
@@LoveRC in his original p51 1.5m video he changed the elevator servo hole position to give more throw - I did the same. Rates now at 70% with 40 expo on elevator with the increased throw from shifting the elevator control horn hole.
@@EDF_FANatic and that helps keep it from going left?
@@LoveRC no it doesn't help it from going left. It goes left on this bird due to the p factor from the large 4 blade propeller. The technique is to ease into the throttle, while applying slight rudder and aileron to counter the turn to the left until it is up on its wheels and tracking straight. Once you have enough speed then slowly apply up elevator to take off.
Dang Brian it's been awhile since I seen this beautiful plane only to see you crash it I'm sorry that happened but glad you repaired it brother!!! Nice comeback , there's no freaking way I could fly it again that fast I would need a day or two lol great flying Brian great filming camera crew! Love that plane but dam it's fast on pavement bud .

Wow bro I thought you was going to hook me up with a bigfoot or something like that. 😟😥 Dang I need a new plane my arrows pioneer has about had it. Not sure if you remember telling me how to fix it and my grandson and I have had a lot of fun with it . But about 240 flights and a few crashes later she is hurt. But I still love the channel bud.
Hey Brian, love your vids, just wanted to offer my fix to velcro straps, cut em out and use 3m dual lock
I've heard of people doing this too!
How do you like it on 2 blades Brian? Havent tryed mine like that yet. Thought about it and would probably reduce torque roll on take off, any more top speed ? what do you think?
If we add AS3X, LAS and SAFE-Plus to it, beginners can also have a lot of fun with it.
Oh boy, I’d love to get this!
Get the 1.2m first ;)
Hey man great job as always. I have the fms 1450 p51 and I run a 3200 6s and it flies a lot lighter. Pretty much the same plane. I bet you will like it better
Sorry for the scam reply! We've reported and blocked that account.
I'm old, like to watch scale models flying at apparent scale speeds. A P-51 cruises at around 300mph, max at over 400mph. Love your videos anyway!
Thanks!
you talked yourself into that bad landing...you did some cool touch n goes before that
Well, yes! LOL
If you wanted a fun, zippy 6S prop to fly off smooth grass, which would you take - this or a V1200?
That's one STRANGE choice - LOL ;)
V1200 would be tough from grass - the gear are weak...get the V900 - it's cheaper to fly (smaller packs) and still VERY exciting, and easier to see!!! But this answer sorta throws your "6S" comparison out the window - sorry about that ;)

Landing the P51: full flaps, 10% throttle at a slight flare, slowly reduce throttle and cut off upon touchdown. Landing not induced by any elevator. I thought you had it🤣
I've always liked this plane! Flies like a mustang but lands like a bronco! How do you think it compares with the FMS 1.4m P-40?
P-40 is easier to tame on landings, but both are great looking planes. Hard to compare an EFlite to an FMS in regards to the electronics...since I make the FMS basically a BNF when I'm done.
So, you know how you recommend getting the 1.2m P-51 before getting the 1.5m. Well, I was wondering if the 1.2m P-39 Airacobra would be a suitable “trainer” for the 1.5m P-51? It is the same wingspan and it IS a warbird. Just curious as to your opinion on this.
Sorry to have to report this to you, Matt...but the P-39 is not as easy to fly or land. It's not a bad plane, and I DO think you might love it, but it's not like the P-51 1.2m...
P39 bit.ly/3aWhEmS
P51 bit.ly/3ohT4zT
Oh I have it and have flown it! You’re absolutely right, it is tricky, but I’ve pretty much ironed mine out to be a good flyer. So you think the 1.5m P-51 is EASIER?
So...the issue you had programming SAFE. I have a dx6i that was given to me by a fellow flying club member. I installed a new ar630 w/ as3x and SAFE into a Sky Surfer I've had for years...according to HH, SAFE can be programed but I'm having trouble figuring out how. As far as I can find, the dx6i doesn't allow channel programming like the newer radios. How can I get SAFE to work? HH said to program SAFE to the gear switch/channel.
You'll have to watch one of our PNP planes, where we use an AR630 to see how we did it. We share a radio setup on basically every plane we do...but this is a BNF, not a plug and fly, therefore, we didn't have to do this type of setup.
usually when the prop breaks, the prop shaft gets bent too
This can be true, but I've had it both ways. I think it usually depends on the direction the prop strike occurs...
It flies more realistic than other little foam planes. Very scale like and requires some runway. The topflite series flew extremely heavy.
Did you ever get reverse set up on this or do you know if current versions have it?
I don't think I did, since I didn't have an AVIAN ESC programmer at the time, but have since moved on from this plane. It's one of my least favorite flying P-51's from Eflite. I have a hard time getting her to behave on the ground, and in the air. The 1.2m is so dang good, I have a hard time pushing people into this particular plane....BUT she is a looker, and does have presence in the air
P51 bit.ly/3ohT4zT
Hi Brian! When you take off what are doing with the elevator?
Hardly anything...just very light pressure, if anything.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks!
Love mine!
Glad you do!
I wanna get this model, but Im wary of the one-piece wing design. I had a Trojan T-28, and the one-piece wing ripped off mid flight and it crashed(which honestly was funny, because my t-28 had been a pain in the ass and I wasn’t too sad to see it go). All my other planes have two-piece wings with a rod that goes through the fuselage. What are your thoughts on one piece wings?
I can't say we've had any issues with that part, but the ground handling leaves something to be desired.
@BrianPhillipsRC Really? There's no spar or reinforcement at all?
I don’t know why but I always feel more comfortable standing behind my plane on take off
I have tried that from the farm market road at my house iBut when the battery timer goes off everybody wants to drive by and on look at what I am doing. Make my landing a challenge. When your losing battery.
yep, makes it tough. We had this happen last Friday with the Viper 90 - wait and see ;)
LoL...chop the throttle and steer it 🤣🤣
Love my Focke-Wulf over this one .
I tend to agree.
The sound with 2 probs is better then the one with 4 ;)
I've noticed this before too ;)
Hey Brian I have a quick question. I bought the Valiant 1.3 and set up my flaps the same as you on your video. The only time my flaps move slow (set to 2 seconds) is if I go straight to landing flaps. All other positions move very quick.
You have the setting ONLY set for the FULL flap position...this means you're using OLD firmware - Two suggestions, update your firmware, then set this 2 SECONDS for EACH FLAP STEP ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks Brian.
Hey Brian it's Ian lol, you definitely need reverse thrust on that bad boy . Do the update, I have reverse thrust on mine and she stops on a dime !
I could upgrade the firmware and would be able to add that feature.
How does it compare to a true scale p-51? There are dozens on the market with most of them being modified to make it easier to fly while retaining the esthetic. I know the ones made closer to the real thing fly like a dream if you keep the speed up, fast, very nasty tip stall characteristics when it gets slow, and like many taildragger warbirds super easy to nose over if you don’t get the landing exactly right.
I think this plane flies great, but it's another story when it comes to faster ground handling.
Love it, so scale..
She's way prettier in person that I thought at first!
Nice very good
thanks!
have you done any flight line models?
I had one when I was a kid, but I can barely remember anything about it. Might have been one my Dad had, and I would play with it...but wasn't allowed to actually fly it.
Hi brian, could you give me some insight as to why a plane would nose dive after switching on safe. I have done many pnp with the 630 receiver and recently 2 planes have gone down when I switched from as3x to safe. I don’t get it.
If you setup the plane, meaning it was a pnp or a replaced/upgraded rx...you can go in and make an "Attitude" correction. I'd suggest going into forward programming and checking this out.
This 1.5 mustang I don't have many flights on it because servos keep burning up on it
Good job!
Thanks!
where did you buy your airplane display stand?
Tu et un bon pilote belle avion
Thanks! Plane is a looker, for sure!!!
Merci! L'avion est un spectateur, c'est sûr !!!
Hey Brian. Random question about the avian. If you set up thrust reverse and my braking is set to 0 is there any way to elimate braking? Even on 0 brake is active. Range is from 0 to 7. 7 being the strongest. Thoughts?
It's supposed to be higher than 0, so that it gets the motor ready to switch directions, but I kinda hate the breaking effect on most planes...so I would say I can't say, since I haven't yet figured this out.
@@BrianPhillipsRCthat makes sense. Much respect on those landings. Thanks for the reply!
Hi Brian. I have the 1.5 eflite mustang and my a380r servo for the tail wheel burned up. It is on backorder but can get the regular a380. Can I reverse it or is there another equivalent servo I can use or sorce to replace it. Appreciate your help
Ouch. I half Cuban the 1700 all day long on the approach. Bigger the better
Please tell me the 1.5m Focke Wulf Fw 190 flies easier than this...especially takeoffs & landings.
The FW 190 is better.
Needs some low bounce tires
sure - most planes could really use it! This plane has always been a tricky one on the ground - AS3X+ will make a BIG difference, since we can have gains WAY higher on the tail wheel...
Merci pour ces vidéo j’adore les helico mais j’avoue que ces avion là doive être très agréable à vole ♥️🙏🏽
You're welcome, and yes, fixed wing is a whole different experience ;)
Hello Brian🏆🏆🏆🏆😉😉😉😉😉😉😉🔝🔝🔝🔝its forever number 1
thanks ;)
You really need to turn off the sharpness in your camera settings.
I have never liked this plane. Funny because the Eflite P-51 Blondie was the 3rd plane I bought and was the driving factor to improve my flying skills. This P-51 seems to be hard to takeoff (see Pilot Ryans maiden) and if you even have a hint of trouble landing, I’ll be destroying props and gear on a regular basis.
I think there are planes and EDF’s on the market you just say, “It’s not for me.”
Hard to believe this is the same manufacturer that came out with the 64mm a-10, 70 & 90mm Viper.
I agree. This one is such a handful on landings, and it's got all the features, and it's well built, but it's just too scary once you put down the tail wheel!
Is it possible to blow the props on 2 blades?
First time I saw you crash wow your human !
I've been doing a lot of it lately - LOL ;)
