What can I say...I've put off building this until now because I was scared I couldn't do this legendary aircraft justice. I'm proud to finally present the P-51D Mustang at 1:1 scaled dimensions and performance. Extreme care was taken to prevent any yaw/roll bugs, and I'm happy to report that you will not find any in this build.



Controls:

AG1 + VTOL down for flaps

AG2 for lights



*IMPORTANT*



For takeoff, throttle to 30%, lightly control the nose with yaw until the tail lifts off the ground (no pitch yet!), then rotate above 110 mph. Once you're airborne you can throttle to 100% and enjoy!



For landing, flaps down (helps but not required), throttle to 25% and trim the nose up (you will still need to hold nose up pressure on the stick). When you're stable on final approach, throttle to 15% and work on slowing to about 115 mph for touchdown. It's forgiving, you can mess up and still land safely but that's about what you're shooting for.



Thanks @thealban for the decal. Definitely saved me some time on the paint!
