I fly the Parkzone and it's a handful. Looks damn good hanging from the ceiling in my son's bedroom though.

Few it about eight times and gave it to a friend.
Under full power it flys OK??? But slow it down much...it will roll over and die.
It is too heavy for it's wing area.

Status: offline 		I'll say I have the typhoon, super cub, slo-v, firebird freedom and the P-51 (2 of them to be exact) and I do not like the P-51 at all. I bought another one cheap used and thought it was my plane functioning poorly and a new set up might give me new hope. NOPE This is like flying a tank. I will sell them both cheap if anyone is interested. 1 is all new and other need a lil attn in the nose. I bought 3 fuselages and 2 wings so far. What a plane! It needs more surface throw area and more power.....just to name a few. Full speed it is a breeze to fly but when you let off down you go.....like a shot duck.

Status: offline 		hello all, I have been around many different p51's in my day including the unlimited 100 In. racers back in the day. P51's are notorious for "tip stalls" at low speeds. This wing design is designed for high speed flight and will always be a difficult plane to fly. if you are having trouble flying that one but you want a warbird, try the new spitfire that they sell.

Status: offline 		I flew my P-51 for the first and second times yesterday and today. I think it flies great. No, it's not a floater but it's a warbird. They tipstall and they generally float like bricks.
Once that's learned, it's a beautifully designed plane with great scale looks. If you want one that's forgiving and doesn't require you to fly it for every second, it won't really look like a P-51. This one LOOKS like a Mustang and that's a plus in my opinion.
It's the nature of a WWII warbird in general...Some fly easier than others but none of them should fly like a lightly loaded sunday flyer sport model.
The Spitfire probably flies a bit gentler with it's generous wing area and slightly longer tail moment but I'm enjoying the heck out of this Mustang. But then, I've always gotten the most enjoyment out of watching a realistic looking model fly. I just don't fly Four-Stars and that kind of stuff.

Status: offline 		I have the P51 and its full throttle or bust. I do however love th F27 stryker I bought for my girlfriend. It flies great, it's not the brushless one though. Doesn't like to roll to the right as well as the left. I have since yanked the electric stuff and use it for slope duty now. Flies even better.
