This is the third EZ Mustang I have owned and the first of the second generation. Yes, they are expensive but the quality, fit and ease of assembly is very good. Pictures cannot do it justice. I am a scale enthusiast and can appreciate the attention to detail. I can only describe the finished product as "stunning" I haven't flown this one yet...waiting for the weather to cooperate.

While there is nothing wrong with the hardware that comes with the kit, I always use std 4-40 on all my models. My latest is powered with an OS 61fx inverted with a Slimline "Inverted Sport" muffler. This muffler exits straight down through two exhaust stacks. I have two Hitec 225mg servos under the stab for elevator. The stock setup with the totaly enclosed elevator linkages is cool, but did not seem stiff enough for 100mph+ control.

I haven't flown this one yet, but if it flys like the previous versions, it will be smooth and pattern-like. The plane is capable of gliding a long ways if the engine dies. It is very aerobatic and would flat-spin very well. I learned that the hard way with my first EZ Mustang!

I would buy another. I think the price/quality is worth it, but I haven't owned a Kyosho to compare. Remember, this one is foam covered with vinyl and must be handled lightly. If repairing the plane is important, World Models makes a P-51 with shrink covering. But it cant compare in the looks dept. Sorry WM
