RE: P-51 D RTF
Zoil,
My experience is that the P51 needs room to manuver. I'm sure lots of other will jump on the band wagon, but I'll just say it anyway:
The P51 is not a beginner's plane!
Good luck,
Mike

RE: P-51 D RTF
zoil,
which kit are you referring to?...as for flying her in a parkk, it really depends on your rc flying experience level, size of the park and size of the model...just because a kit is labeled as an rtf does not mean it's intended for beginners...rtf just means there's relatively less building involved...for the p-51, the box should state it's intended for intermediate/advanced rc pilots...

Yeah that P-51 is a low winger for one, which makes it pretty touchy when it comes to manuevering - I would highly recommend that if you want an RTF, that you pick a trainer with a high wing setup (kinda looks like a Cesna) to get used to flying first.
The p-51 may look cool but it doesn't lok so cool when you've crashed it a couple times and it's all rolled up in packaging tape
NOT THAT I would know from experience or anything *whistles subtlely*

Also note that 'keeping a plane in the air' is not the same as flying well.

LMAO!!!!!!!!
Well I guess he'll find out soon enough what it's like to fly a Stang. From the first post and the 300 feet in all directions, it almost sounds like he got a PZ version. [X(]

RE: P-51 D RTF
Well Im sorry but I guess I'll be the one to tell you. I can't agree with Somegeek more. Its just so polite to call people that try to help you dumb butts. If your going to be doing that then this site isnt for you. Im sorry If I assumed this was your first plane, but the way you write your post I could have equally assumed you were talking about a car. I dont mean to be rude but your posts make no sense at all, Im sure it wouldn't take you such a long time to write up a proper response. And one without an insult. This isnt msn, and even there what you say would make hardly any sense at all. Now I'll say it again, Im not trying to be rude, but calling people names on this site is against the rules, maybe you should take some time to read them.

Zoil, remember my writing about the person that laughed at your trying to figure out the icons? If you continue to act like that person, no one will respond to you. figure it out, or move to a different board. Tim, Just my opinion, but this is the last time I will respond to one of your queries. Tim

How 'bout some in-flight pics, zoid?
Were your three previous planes Aero-Aces?
Or maybe the Estes series? Have you been online taking courses on the Este's "Pappy's Flying School" simulator?
Do you have a specific definition of a successful landing? Is wrecking your plane into sub-atomic particles successful as long as the spinner's not broken? Or the motor?
I somehow suspect this is the case.
