That's not really the best plane to start out on. I'm referring to flying it, not the building process.
You really need to start out with something intended as a trainer for beginning pilots. There is a good list at the top of the beginners forum.
Trust me, you'll than yourself later for not starting out on the Mustang.
Auctually, I flew a P-51 the second trough the 8th month of my training.
And, I'm an advanced 3D pilot and fly a 35% Extra 300L and a 42% Edge 540
I wouldnt say he would regret it.
