    Very sorry, that was a nice touchdown but you hit the downslope and just did not slow down. I had a landing with a YA Spitfire and had the same issue. We thought it was down and safe and a full elevator pull got me back into the air JUST above stalling speed.

    That's pretty cool, you don't see too many P-61's around, much less with working speed brakes! Interesting to note is that those speed brakes were only found on the P-61C, Northrop found that they overstressed the wing structure in operation, so all of them were bolted down and disabled. They were all flying with them taking up space and adding weight in the wings, but they were never used.

      The experienced giant scale, gas fliers at my club thought the idle was ok however, many people in the comments think it was high. It's probably a combination of high idle, aggressive prop, diving to the runway and the airstrip having a down grade. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    I have flown mine and it was a handful, nearly lost it. I found out it was nose heavy at the front CG position and adjusted the batteries to balance at the rear CG position. It flew much better. It is also important that the plane of the rear propeller be at 90 degrees to the horizontal stabilizer. Check RC groups for more information.

    I would use flaps if it's not windy, turn final at a lower altitude, not dive at the runway, idle the motor down more, and use a prop with less pitch, perhaps a 27x11. I think the 26x13 might be pushing too much air at idle, especially at a fast idle. Flaps will help slow the plane down and also lower the wing's angle of attack which will help prevent tip stalls. With full flaps, the plane might slow down too quickly if you pull the power off completely, so use a little throttle on final and during the round out. Practice slow flight. Climb to a safe altitude, throttle back, lower the flaps, and practice flying around just above the stall speed. See how slow you can fly without stalling.

    You are really paying for not knowing how to tune the engine properly, you had the same problem with rhe topflite P-51, , when will you learn, obviously you have deep pockets, Whoever told you a warbird flys like a trainer is either a liar or a fool. You acceptance that this is part of the hobby is part of your problem. When the same problem happens with nitro or gas maybe its you. The jerk who will say I'm harsh are to be avoided.

      @@dansplanes4112 I have a 3D Yak with a DLE55 and a three bladed prop due to restrictions on the sound level, the three bladed prop makes it pull harder on idle. I fly it on way smaller landing strips, i kill the engine when the approach looks good enough. Another thing i noticed, I should let the engine warmup, this way I can lower the idle speed just a notch. Also I have an onboard starter, so when the plane comes to a stop, I just restart and taxi back. Good luck with the rebuild!

    Sorry for your mishap. The plane was flying very nicely. I noticed that you were landing your Focke-Wulf on its mains. Focke-Wulfs don't like that. They prefer three-point landings. The P-51s, on the other hand, love to land on their mains. I hope that you can fix it and fly it again soon!... Give that three-point landing a try... That's how I land mine every time... Mine is the Eflite Focke-Wulf 1.5M made out of foam. I don't like balsa for obvious reasons... If you sneeze hard close to the plane, they will break... Foamy planes are sturdier...😁👍🏾 Thumbs-up for your video 👍🏾 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷 Like#22

    Im sure your "local NTSB" report of yourself and friends already went over what-ifs, but seemed like a high-idle, fast approach, and negative grade runway landing all aided in the outcome. Can only hopefully guess it was into prevailing winds too. Real sorry to watch, hope all the salvageable parts (non-airframe) go into a new build!
