Default RE: ParkZone P-51 Mustang RTF

Safor, this plane (If you have read the previous posts) has a tendancy for breaking props. All I can say is try to land it on some tall grass. As far as for general landing of a low wing fighter is to keep some airspeed up while landing or it could tip stall and have the nose and wing hit the ground first. If there is any wind while you are flying, you have to use it and it will help considerably, but you must still keep a little power on. You can get some nice belly landings, but keep am eye out for your battery cover, one of the other problems and engineering flawws is that the clip for the cover is in the front, and if hit just right, will pop off during landing. I also recommend re-enforcing the cowling too with some packing tape as this is another weak spot. Another option is to add some landing gear that alot of fliers are talking about and that I am considering myself. Well good luck and don't give up, this plane is fun when you figure out the bugs.
