Default !!NEW Hangar 9 P-51 40 size!!

Look at this new release form Hnagar 9, exactly what I was looking for!

Key Features

    [*]Authentic 8th Air Force, 357th Fighter Squadron trim scheme of genuine UltraCote® covering[*]Hangar 9® quality construction using balsa and lightweight plywood[*]Retract-ready using optional E-flite® electric 85-degree main retracts[*]Scale details such as simulated exhaust, machine guns and antenna mast are included[*]Painted fiberglass cowl and radiator scoop[*]Operational flap option requires just one extra mini servo[*]Scale shaped, two-blade spinner included[*]Fuselage top hatch allows easy access to batteries and internally hidden switches[*]Steerable tailwheel in the scale location[*]Three sets of aircraft livery decals[*]Ready for gas, glow or electric power options[/list]

    Overview



    The Hangar 9® P-51D Mustang 40 ARF is a unique take on the historic fighter. It's modeled after the Mustangs flown over Europe with the 357th Fighter Squadron who escorted allied bombers and attacked targets of opportunity during the final months of WWII. Along with its authentic trim scheme and decals, it includes an impressive list of scale details usually only available on more expensive kits. It's also been designed with a low parts count, so assembly is simple. The overall construction delivers an outstanding sense of realism and the opportunity to choose the power system you enjoy most. Whether it's gas, glow or electric power; hardware for either option is included, plus you can enhance this fighter even further by making the optional flaps operational. Electric retracts are an easy bolt-in option.



    In the air, the P-51D Mustang 40 possesses all the best characteristics of a spirited sport plane. Whether you're flying aerobatics or strafing the runway, its smooth, precise control response will make it feel as though you're flying on rails.

I notice they recommend: 4 mini servos

Are they interested in saving weight or doesn't the plane fly 'hard' enough to require a standard sized servo?
