We are talking about the P-51 ARF. I just got the Eagle trainer kit so it will be a quite some time before it's built. How is running it in a parking a lot a bad idea?
Who said it was a bad idea to taxi it?

Sorry I didn't spell it out.

It's usually quite simple to troubleshoot a plane that doesn't taxi straight.
It takes a bit more to troubleshoot a plane that doesn't fly straight.
You did a smart thing, testing it's taxiing.
Have you figured out why it didn't taxi straight?
It was an ARF. Did it come with the tail wheel already rigged to the servo?

Steering straight has a lot in common with flying straight.
