I have a P-51 B Mustang from Pica........One of the BEST flying planes that I own.......very stable in the air....as long as you keep the control throws to a minimum.......very strong! I did a "5-point" landing earlier this evening.........hardly any damage..........highly reccomend!

P 51 5 point landing....
 
You didnt say what size engine you had in that 51...was it a glo job or gas fired?? I had a Pica P51... was a good flyer...that is til my Hitec Prizm receiver quit listening ...lol The plane flew great with a Quadra 52 on board... On that landing...you got away with murder there...lol P 51's don't take kindly to slow approaches..or over controlled throws...There are 3 things I was told by my instructor in P 51's....#1 Don't Go Slow.... #2 Don't Go Slow...and #3 Lord O' Mercy, Don't Go Slow.... Best flying tip I ever recieved..lol
Good luck with your 51... next time build a Ziroli example, those 51's fly excellently...I currently fly one that has over 500 flights on her..I reckon you could call her my "beater"...

Adios...

In combat? :confused:

Chances are, he's refering to the 'new' 40" P-51B combat model from Pica.
