Default RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

A followup to my previous post --

Following a discussion with three other observers and no apparent radio component malfunction, I believe that the loss of control and resulting crash of PTS #1 was pilot error.

I also oberved a third PTS fly today, and it behaved as a sport scale should. The airbrakes were removed, the flaps were fixed in the up position, and the aileron control links were in the next to outside hole--not the outside as it came out of the box. The flight I observed was the sixth or seventh flight of this particular aircraft.
