I have succesfully trained 6 students on the Mustang and they had no prior experience. As suggested take of the brakes and change the prop.

All planes exhibt the nose drop in a turn, some more than others.

I would also look at the Nexstar while you are roaming around Towers web site. I have flown this plane tons of time also

Thanks a lot bubbagates for your reply, I would take the brakes off, from the landing gear, and about the prop, you suggested me to change, so I should go for 2 bladed prop?

Yep. change the prop to a 2 bladed APC 11X5. That will give the pull that plane needs and still keep it nice a slow. It really is a good plane. Allot of instructors are leary of it because it's a low wing and I was at first until I flew one with someone on a buddy box.

We made the recommended changes on the second flight and it really improved the flight characteristics and stiull kept it nice for a student

I found the cure for this addiction. Take two planes and go fly in the morning

Well above is the suggestion of bubbagates about 2 bladed prop, the prop available was 11x4.5" 2 bladed Thunder Tigre which I purchased as advised by so many people to change it. I had 3 bladed props of evolution engine size is 10x6, out of which 2 I broke. Today was sunday but somehow I couldnot go to the flying field as I had fever, cough and cold (flu). It was very windy there as I was told by my friend. I just need to check this 2 bladed prop, what kinda performance its going to give hopefully this sunday when Im gonna fly my Mustang. After that if I would feel to change it back to 3 bladed prop, which I only have one left, I'd change. I have noticed one thing in my engine today, as I started the engine at home, Upon full throttle it gives a great pull but engine shuts down at full throttle, I tried to fix the speed needle but somehow I couldnt set it, otherthing is with the fuel, after few windings/turnings of fuel pump while fueling, it starts to throw out the oil, this only happens when the fuel is ful, after 3 to 4 turns it throws fuel out from the pipe which is connected to the muffler. I thought may be as its nose raises higher and I was fueling with nose straight thatswhy it is throwing out the fuel and tank is not getting fillled, I would check it out again next sunday after having it completely assembled and fly it. I always have a fear of aileron, I think, Im gonna neutral the aileron servos and then fix them on my radio. Mike, britbrat once again thanks for your suggestions.
