RE: NEW H9 P51 Mustang 60 ARF
I saw this plane at Toledo and spent quite a bit of time not only looking at the mustang but talking to one of the Hanger 9 reps as well. Hanger 9 did a good job on this one, It replaces their existing 60 size and with hanger 9 discontinuing the 1.20 size this will be the only Mustang they offer (if you don't count the trainer). Some of the neat features about this plane that haven't been mentioned are the spinner not only matches the color of the plane perfectly it's also an aluminum spinner with a plastic type coating, not paint. The spinner also covers the aluminum back plate which is much more scale. As mentioned the covering is a new product for hanger 9. The rep said it is Ultracoat and is applied as you typically have in the past. All the graphics are printed in the covering with the exception of just a couple and they are the nose art, the pilots name and the tail insignias, and here is the neat part, there will be several stickers to choose from along with completely different tails to switch the identity of the plane. Also Gone will be the days glow fuel loosens most of the military stickers from the sides of the plane. The retacts are way above and beyond the quality of the typical mechanical retracts found on all other 60 size arfs, hands down. I bought a Top Flite kit along with a set Century retracts but I might be interested in postponing that project for a while and go with this Arf sometime soon.
