that would not be a good second plane. that is a scale warbird so it does not fly the same a airplane thats desighned to be a model. warbirds are the most difficult to fly. they need alot of tlc when flying. i have a p51 miss america 60 by hanger 9 and believe me it differant to fly. first off you have never flew a tail dragger and second you have never flew an airplane that requiers you to come in with power to land because of the wonderful tipstall characteristic that the p51 posesses. sure up in the air you can fly it with a instructor but when its time for landing it will turn into a monster if you dont no what you doing. please save your money. my opinion look at a big stik 60 with a supertiger 75 or if your looking to go to a low wing a goldberg tiger 60 would be excelent. that plane will teach you really how to fly. i have one with robart retracts and is a fun plane to fly. i know the urge to buy one of these warbirds like the p51 mustang is strong but dont get on of those until you have had alot of low wing training. the mustang is for a very expierience pilot. if you decide to buy one let it sit for a year and fly the wheels off some lowwing trainers like a tiger 60 or a tower kaos 40. i hope i didnt hurt your feelings i am just being honest with you so you dont destroy alot of money. the p51 60 by hanger 9 completed is around 720.00 .
