Default RE: p-51 mustang

Some planes are like an epoxy flying brick. Think of a 72mhz radio with bad reception. First, you're flying strait and then you have to bring it back in. So you cut the throttle and the wing drops in an instant. If you know what you're doing, you apply rudder before you blink and chances are, you recover. Some may not be so lucky. The standard advice at the field, is that you have to fly it all the way down the runway until you are stopped. To someone with enough experience, it's second nature. If you aren't familiar with anything but foam electrics, then a very unpleasant surprise awaits.
