Default Thoughts on the P-51 trainer

I'm just wondering where all the people that were getting the p-51 trainer have gone on the forum... it seemed like a bunch of people got them a month or so ago and I'd like to know what people think about the plane now that they've had a chance to fly them for a bit. Just wondering what people are thinking about it's flight/ ground characteristics. After 2 flights mine seems to fly and ground handle well. The only problem I can see so far is that it's kinda hard to get a great perception of it from a distance. In fact we almost lost it due to this when we thought the wrong wing was raised, which led to an inverted dive that the instructor pulled out of a few feet above the trees. A scary experience, but after that we didn't have any problems. So, those of you who have flown or have seen one flown, go ahead and tell me what you think. Thanks
