I'm with ya on this one. While Hanger 9 has found a way to capitalize on the desires of people that want to start with a P-51 (haven't we all thought that?), it's not a trainer for everybody. While some will be able to train with it, others will need to use it as an "advanced trainer" or 2nd plane. They've done good to tame a P-51 down into a trainer, not everybody is going to be able to learn on it.

Just my 2¢ worth
