I would advise the P51 to be MUCH later down the road! Maybe for your 4th plane. Practice with the foamie, then your kit built trainer (a Great Planes PT-40 would be a very good trainer). Then when you are very proficient with the trainer, learn to fly a low wing trainer. A T-6 would be good. When you are proficient with that, THEN it's time for the Mustang. Except for the foamie, this is the progression the military uses.
