The Mustang is scheduled to begin production first of May. Estimated delivery Mid August

We are still finalizing the cost but the estimated price with full retract system, air system and all gear doors installed is approximately $1695.95 to $1895.95

We will have both ARF and ARC versions available and are now accepting pre orders.

Thank You
Rocco/Aeroworks

Thank You

Status: offline 		Im in agreement with MX240 $1900 does sound a bit high! I am a big RC junkie and not cheap by any means ( ask my wife) but for an 86" plane its a little steep. Perhaps there is something that we are missing here. Aside from the fine retracts and sequential doors what other mack daddy up grades are included? Just looking for a justification so I CAN buy this plane as I LOVE Stangs... Jusi look at my name!!!

That 12-15 hour build time closes the deal for me.

To get this quality and finish would take a lot of time with any other P-51 option.

I might be wrong, but I think it comes with the two servos actuating the air distributor.
Engine mounting template
Pre-hinged
Cockpit installed
Pre-drilled control horn holes
High quality hardware and airframe (QB)
Deflection meter

I think that pretty much covers it. If you consider how much all this costs, I think it works out.

Status: offline 		MMMM I might have to rethink getting one of these Aero Works P-51's.
I lost my four year old Hanger Nine 51 last week due to dumb thumbs.
Wasn't feeling that good on the drive over to the field and a stiff cross wind did me in. Total loss.
Should have known better as have made many type landings in same conditions.

Now I am interested in knowing if this Aero Works 51 has the landing gear in the right position so a person can balance this bird at the correct C/G and not have to worry about noseing over if taxiing on a grass field.
I redone the Hanger Nine retracts so she would handle conditions...but it was close at times.

Looks very compelling indeed...would've been nice if they have printed some panel lines and rivets on, but heck I'll do a bit of that myself...

To you who have purchased Aero-works products internationally, how would you rate the way they pack their planes?  Have you received any damaged parts before?  Also wonder how much would shipping cost...let's say to Japan via fedex/usps/snail mail...(yes I really want this plane )

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Without a doubt, this is the most gorgeous Mustang I have seen on the market. Having two Aeroworks planes in my hangar (1.20 Yak 54 and 85cc Yak 54) I am well aware of the "Aerowork's Factor"...1) Premier customer service; second to none...2) Quality...well built planes...and 3) "QB" Quick Build Series...with hardware I actually do NOT have to swap out for better quality!!

Sadly, the price tag is keeping me out of the game. Please do not misunderstand my meaning here...the price is extremely fair for what you get, and then some. I just cannot afford this beauty...mostly a victim of the current economy.

My future holds in it a Classic Warbird. I just cannot think of a better first Warbird to add to my hangar than the Aeroworks Mustang.

Rocco and Mark: I hope I can speak for others when I say "WOW!!" Job well done on the "stang". If the Cessna 195 is half the plane the "stang" is, it will be a beauty as well.

Congrats, and keep us the good work...

Sincerely,
Smacka

Status: offline 		Hello Smacka,

Thank you for your wonderful comments about our Mustang P-51 and all of our QB product line.

The Mustang and the Cessna 195 will set a new Higher standard for both the Warbird and Scale ARF market just like the QB line raised the bar for the Aerobatic ARF market. We plan on setting a New standard for all others to copy and try to catch.

We have worked for over two years on the design of the Mustang and it is now in production. The Cessna is in the final R&D Stages and we hope to test fly it next week.

We are looking forward to this new market and plan on offering many other Scale planes and Warbirds in the near future.

Thank You
Rocco / Aeroworks

This is where AW is geting all my respect. When they get a new plane out, rest assured that it has been tested and is bug free. Its not a falling apart prototype that you must debug yourself.. Not the case with many other ARF manufacturers.

Keep the good work Rocco.

Serge

Rocco,

That is all great news, your success is assured. I just finished my first Aeroworks QB Extra 260. 60-90 The quality and precision was amazing. It's a beautiful plane.

Do you think a ZENOAH TITAN 45cc would fit in this plane (and that it would be powerfull enough?)?

The Mustang was designed around the DA50 if you use the Zenoah 45 you may have to cut the firewall to accommodate the engine. Most any 45 to 55 engine will work but if you stick to the DA50 it is a drop in installation and everything is concealed in the cowl.

Thank You
