Hello forum
Can I learn to fly on a bigger size plane like the ARF P-51D 60 it has a 67" wing span. I have some experience flying the alpha 40 trainer a few years ago. Will this be ok to learn on? Thanks
Sure, go for it.
HUH? Try this only if you want to buy your second plane one week after your first.
The mustang P-51 PTS is a great plane, but it is not an excelent trainer. My sugestion is start with a simulator then move to a high wing trainer then try the P-51 PTS. The reason I like my PTS is because the ARF is cheap 120~130$ w/o engine and radio and it is a great flying sport plane. Even though you have previous experience, if its been a few years start with something simple. I am still some what new to this myself and started with a Nexstar then moved to the PTS it was alot more to handle, and I had alot of time on the sim. I'm not saying that you couldn't learn on a PTS or the larger 60 size Mustang but it would take alot longer, and if you're like most of us, the more money in the air the higher the pucker factor which sucks when you're trying to learn to fly.
Good luck, and let us know what plane you go with.
