I have a VQ P-51 mustang that is about a year old now. I purchased mine from the previous VQ dealer last year at Toledo.

The aircraft flys fabulous!! Much like some of the pattern aircraft I flew in the late 70's and early '80s. Equipped with hobbico retracts, powered by a JETT SJ-46 and a turbo-jett muffler. Also has a remote needle valve. The combination is outstanding. Lands well, no bad habits. Take off and landing from grass poses no problems.

The structure itself is not too bad. Fairly rugged. Assembly instructions were passable at best. Hardware was useless (although I did use the pushrods). Screws were very soft, and I would not recommend them for engine installation. Engine mount provided would be ok for some engines, but the Jett proved to require more, and I installed Sig aluminum mounts. Painted fiberglass cowl was a nice feature.

In general, the VQ kit was a pretty good value, and I am happy with mine.

I have flown the AT-6 and the MiG as well, and both flew very well.
