Default Best P51 ARF

Flew my Kyosho again today (after a month hiatus from it), and I'm gonna say it again, what an absolutely sweet flyin' plane. Outta all my planes, my Mustang flies knife edge the best, believe it or not. The plane handles like it's on rails. Fast or slow, the plane really doesn't care too much. Stall characteristics are awesome, it just dips its nose, letting go of the elevator and adding throttle are all that's needed to recover. My Dave Brown Products retracts have held up very well even though I fly off grass and tons of people have told me that I'd regret having retracts on the plane. In a dozen or so flights, I haven't had to touch them yet... The only problem to date is the Mustang's tendency to nose over on landings. It always happens when the plane is slowing, not when it first touches down. Not a big deal, I'll just use MAS props
