Default World Models Midget Mustang

I wanted to let the RC'ers out there to be aware a TREMENDOUS ARF! I have a World Models 60 size Midget Mustang that I have been flying for two months. This ARF had some of the best construction and hardware that I've seen from an ARF. THe entire plane is sheeted and contruction/durability is comendable. When I unboxed the plane, the first thing I noticed was that all the control surfaces were pre-hinged with quality metal hinges. All the equipment went in with no difficulty. THe only thing negative I could find was the Ail servo mounts were soft wood. I re-cut mounting blocks from basswood and fixed that.
Buld time on this plane was about 20 hours (taking your time). In my MM I put in a Saito 100, JR PCM, JR 8101 precision servos, and Futaba Gyro in the tail. This isn't a bigginer flyer! It takes some skill to fly this plane due to flight caracteristics. The plane wants to fly fast! The faster it runs, the better. With the Saito 100 I'm getting speeds around 100/110 MPH. When in higher speed flight, rates must be set low or 40% exp must be set. High torgue servos are a must for this plane. I recommend nothing less than 75oz Servos. If your flighing with a large engine, 90oz servos should be used.


Flight Characteristics:
Take off: Throttle up and climb slowly until you reach a good speed. Take off are smooth when level.
Low speed flight... Fligh at high rates! Tip stalls will occurr especially if you bank/turn to tight
Medium Speed flight: Flight is smooth, turns are precise! Be careful not to give to much Elev!.
High Speed Flight: This is where she really shines!!! Simply put, This plane loves speed. High speed turns, rolls and loops are precise. When in high speed, do not give full Elev in a super tight turn. It will give you a high speed tip stall. With care though, you can perform tight pattern type turns. The Wings are VERY durable!
Landing: Landings can be slightly hot if a large engine is used, flaperons help in low wind. If you have a little head wind landings are a breeze!

The plane is definately a croud pleaser! If you feel the need for speed this plane fits the bill.
