Maidened my "gunfighter" today. This plane flys like a big foamy trainer and lands so easy it will make you look like a pro. No problems with stock ESC or motor. Best P-51 ever.
Received my P-51 exactly when I requested. Ordered on Saturday, asked them to ship Monday, which they did, 3 day shipping and it was in my hands! Very well packed, nothing broken, nothing missing! Ordered the Tx/Rx, battery, charger, & pilot, all there! Assembly was fairly straight forward though I must note that the "directions" are a joke! No paperwork for the TopFire Tx/Rx as well, had to search on the net for instructions on binding. Videos next week when the wind stops!
I just ordered this airplane. Hope everything comes complete, it's my birthday present to myself! My brother just bought a Pitts from them, everything came complete, nothing broken or non functioning.
@Rollover0105 Thanks for the nice words! The retracts are servoless just like the E-Flite retracts. They are single units controlling each individual retract. No stripped servos or anything anymore. If the retracts are to bind during deployment of retracting, it will just stop. Cycle the switch and they will continue to retract. I have yet to fly her on a 2 bladed prop. I barely finished her in enough time to film the video and make it to the AMA Expo! I have yet to test on a 2 blade.
@Ispintechno1 The supplied retracts are flawless. I cycled her a few times in flight is all. There are no issues with the retracts on this bird. They are the same type of retracts as the E-Flite retracts.
Nice Pete...looks like it beats Airfields P-51 with Flaps and Retractable tail wheel. Nice to see you posting reviews again..seems to have been a while since the website and product reviews have been updated
Banana Hobby is working on a Corsair this size with folding wings and the works. At least that is what I heard at the AMA Convention. So I might have to buy both and have a buddy fly one at the same time for some formation flying.
@startazz I know you have the PZ version, what I should've said was: BH isn't "copying" Parkzone and if you feel that they are, then buy the other colorscheme. That would've been more clear, so I apologize for any confusion. So you've built Gunpla too huh? What's ur favorite scale and grade?
@madhouse740 Thanks for your support. Ya I have been super busy in the developmental areas and prepping for the AMA Convention. More reviews to come for sure. I love the performance of this Mustang!
I purchased the 6 CH BlitzRCWorks 2.4GHz Oversize Shangri-La P51D Mustang the elevator push rod was to short and the wing had a deep tear in it. I called the online chat and told them they said they would send me a new wing and a longer push rod. A week later I received both in the mail no question ask. I have put the plane together and it works great all systems preform as in the video. I have read a lot of negetive comments, all I can say is BH has been nothing but up front with me.
Makes me wonder why Parkzone doesn't offer built in retracts, you guys even matched their price and paint scheme, AND put a four blade prop on it. I've been searching for the perfect electric mustang since I got in the hobby, looks like I've finally found it. All that scale detail makes me want to add lights and sound modules to it. Do you think it will be available as Old Crow or Cripes A Mighty?
@drafting1975 I am the Director as in I shot the videos. I had no clue there was a forum like that. Thats why I asked smart guy. Thanks for letting me know about it. Best, John Asher
This one is bigger than all of the rest (Airfield, Parkzone, Eflite). I love the P-51, I wish someone would do a nice large scale EPO "B" model. For the size difference alone, I don't see an issue with having a paint scheme that's already out. Besides you really can't get around it. There are only a hand full of Famous Scale schemes out there, and Bananahobby is offering 4 of the most popular.
Nice flight and very well done.. I have this aircraft (didnt buy from BH as he isnt here in AUST otherwise he would get all my business..enough crawling now) the only issue i had with it was it seemed very tale heavy and for landings it comes in very hot ( going to try it with a 6S in the nose hope that weighs it down) apart from that it is a very nice aircraft
i have a max thrust riot, and i really want to get a warbird, im very capable with my riot and can perform all types of landings and acrobatics. I was wondering if this warbird required previous experience with warbirds to fly.
Whooo Weeee!!! I have to get one of Those, i would like to take the model and paint it to a Tuskegee Airmen Scheme.....Pete you should start a Gallery for the customer on your website......Killer Flying Pete!!!
@drafting1975 I would like to know the form you are talking about and the dates that these problems were talked about. I will look into it and bring it to Pete's attention.
I really want to order this plane. It looks sweet and bad ass. I love the p51 look. The only problem is all these reviews on bh Im reading on the net are horrific. I mean one after the other. Now I am very nervous about the purchase. Do I take a chance?
Just called to make an order and found out that all versions are out of stock till the end of the month. Disappointing for sure but the Rep seemed confident they would be here before the month ended.
Pete, I was thinking about purchaseing this P-51, but I can't help but notice that you were having some issues in the video with the Servoless retract comming down and going up. I have a nitroplanes Shangrila with the servoless retracts, so I know how touchy the are, but the Blitz rc works model seem very week. Your honest opinion would be very appreciated here before I spend $200.00 dollars. Thanks...Anyone else have issues wit the gear?
Gentleman I think you'll all be fine make sure you check and tighten the retract screws 4 on each retract it's a very nice plane and big!. I also got the dago red!, it is a nice , nice bird get it too!, I recommend it
Never had a problem with my 5 bananahobby jets!!! they are pretty fun! I actually try to beat em up so I can do some mods but havent had to rebuild any yet! The only FOAM TOY that I was unsatisfied with was a nitroplanes f35! Even then I dont get bent!! My advise is first learn to fly...second Learn to crash... third learn to fix...fourth learn to LAUGH!!! A full cooler at the field helps with the laughing part!!haha
@B4its2L8guy It retracted fine. I was reaching for the flap switch and flipped the retracts by mistake so I did cycle the gears a couple of revolutions.
I AM FROM ITALY.PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN IGET ONE. IS IT COMPLETE ie WITH THE RADIO CONTROLLER AND THE WHOLE STUFF. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW CAI I GET ONE. REALLY AMAZING. THANKS.
AMEN TO THAT! I've bought a couple of things from them, including the P-51. Out of the box, things were missing.... a couple of screws, canopy was F'd up, and one bad servo. They should give two options. Currently their planes 100% GUARANTEED YOU WILL HAVE TO REPLACE AT LEAST 3 THINGS WITHIN 12 FLIGHTS( and you will spend more than other brands). OPTION 1... no electronics (make it cheaper). OPTION 2, USE actual good electronics that will last unless you crash it (like Park Zone).
just got my gunfighter edition p51d and it looks good, not as good as the video but it is complete and HUGE! I need more room. I am just gonna leave it at the hanger at my flying club.
It is sad that BH has one set of planes for their reviews are filmed on (that work) and then all the rest that they sell to us as customers (that maybe or probably don't work).
@Ispintechno1 That's probably because model companies will always choose the most famous colors, so they can attract more customers that way. At least, that's what I think.
my friend has one and we brought his out to his grandfather's plot of land and it ran out of battery in the air and the propellars broke going down a steep hill.
@startazz There are only so many aiplanes my friend. The p51 happens to be one of my favorites and none this size with these options as of yet. That is why we have decided to go with this Mustang. Sorry you do not approve.
Maidened my "gunfighter" today. This plane flys like a big foamy trainer and lands so easy it will make you look like a pro. No problems with stock ESC or motor. Best P-51 ever.
the best landing I've ever seen, congratulations!
spectacular review Pete. even if i am not into warbirds at all...this one is just amazing. perfect design, colors and scale look.
Received my P-51 exactly when I requested. Ordered on Saturday, asked them to ship Monday, which they did, 3 day shipping and it was in my hands! Very well packed, nothing broken, nothing missing! Ordered the Tx/Rx, battery, charger, & pilot, all there!
Assembly was fairly straight forward though I must note that the "directions" are a joke! No paperwork for the TopFire Tx/Rx as well, had to search on the net for instructions on binding. Videos next week when the wind stops!
As usual, classy and informative. The Mustang is kick ass, I understand why you are so pumped about that beast!
I just ordered this airplane. Hope everything comes complete, it's my birthday present to myself! My brother just bought a Pitts from them, everything came complete, nothing broken or non functioning.

you are an excellent pilot, the best landing I've ever seen on youtube
Beautiful model. Love the new paint scheme and electric retracts!
@Ispintechno1 The supplied retracts are flawless. I cycled her a few times in flight is all. There are no issues with the retracts on this bird. They are the same type of retracts as the E-Flite retracts.

gonna order this plane next week, the best feature is the rear retractable wheel. Cool, i have not seen it on any other plane of that size.
Pete it even sounds strong cutting through the air
@madhouse740 Thanks for your support. Ya I have been super busy in the developmental areas and prepping for the AMA Convention. More reviews to come for sure. I love the performance of this Mustang!

@PaulsZakk Nope, the drop tanks are optional. Sweet! Thanks!! You will love it!
I hope that clears up that past post, now on to this wonderful model by BH.

Is this in stock now? Really like the "Gunfighter"
When are we going to get the four bladed adjustable pitch prop that was supposed to come with the F-4U Crosair, Item 2195
@tomtom4867 Or is it Parkzone copied the REAL Scale One?
Ha! great video. I got the gunfighter and it's the best looking RC Mustang I've seen. Ever.
@WestCoastCrazed, they also have a Mustang RC Warbird Airplane kit on their website for $189.90.
@SPAGHETTIMONSTER1 Yes I know what you are saying! I am a warbird fan all together and I love the Corsair as well!
Whooo Weeee!!! I have to get one of Those, i would like to take the model and paint it to a Tuskegee Airmen Scheme.....Pete you should start a Gallery for the customer on your website......Killer Flying Pete!!!

Hey Pete,
Are there any plans on releasing this P-51 with the "Miss America" Paint Scheme?
@B4its2L8guy It retracted fine. I was reaching for the flap switch and flipped the retracts by mistake so I did cycle the gears a couple of revolutions.
Part 2: Everything works, though the pre-numbered wires do not match the channels on the receiver! The retracts are smooth and flawless!
@NitroJunkie626 Nice!! We are working on a few other models as well!
@AntonioSpeed Yes we know that. It was just something we added that makes it a bit different is all.
@PaulsZakk Nope, the drop tanks are optional. Sweet! Thanks!!
Are the gears strong enough to handle grass field take-offs and landings...I'd hate to snap them off....
AWESOME landing!!! thumbs up!
A couple of guys at my field have the Airfield version, do they fly similar?
@EMPrcRacing Thanks for your support always!
Awesome, I have a New 1200mm p51, which I'm dying to fly, so can you check the status of order #91615-171124?
@RockStarHeli Nice!! let me know if you want one of these P-51's!
Where are you located, we have nothing in my area for flying!
Could you guys do this with a P-47? Nice plane. Wish I knew how to fly :(
Is this another Banana hobby plane produced from Exploding foam?
i noticed the first time you tried to retract the landing gear it got hung up.
Super nice landing!
I AM FROM ITALY.PLEASE TELL ME HOW CAN IGET ONE.
IS IT COMPLETE ie WITH THE RADIO CONTROLLER AND THE WHOLE STUFF.
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW CAI I GET ONE.
REALLY AMAZING. THANKS.
Is it just me or did it look like the gear did not want to retract properly after takeoff? Nice bird!
pete, great video.
AMEN TO THAT! I've bought a couple of things from them, including the P-51. Out of the box, things were missing.... a couple of screws, canopy was F'd up, and one bad servo.

you send to Brazil?
@bananahobby Cool, any word on that C-17? Oh, and Miss America would be a good P-51 scheme too, just sayin'.
@dragonbreathstinks Why wouldn't they? Most of those planes are actualy made in Asia as well.
@actionfritz Stuka is an upcoming project.
awsome video! it would be cool if you would do more 3d aerobatic helicopter flight review's aswell
@Bubbmann You RULE! Thanks for the comment!
I have one of these but im scared to take it up as ive been flying gliders an sbach 342 will this fly much differant to what i have been flying ?
no. go get that bird up in the air
This plane is not on the bananahobby web site in the 63 inch???????????
Why is everything on the web site always sold out?
I AM FROM ITALY . PLEASE TELL MEHOE CAN I GET ONE.
IS IT COMPLETE ie WITH THE RADIO CONTROLLER AND THE WHOLE STUFF.
SENDME DETAILS.THANKS.
does the paint easily chip?
just got my gunfighter edition p51d and it looks good, not as good as the video but it is complete and HUGE! I need more room. I am just gonna leave it at the hanger at my flying club.
How big is landing gear?
@twiztidbowler Thanks Twitz for the clarification!
Is this a starmax
where to buy?

@kingtuthankamen2000 That's a great idea! I will see about doing so! A gallery!
@gordonandmatt2009 Thanks so much for the comment!
Great channel mate
How tall is this guy?
@startazz If you don't like the Gunfighter scheme, just buy the Shingra La, sheesh.
is it metal?
It is sad that BH has one set of planes for their reviews are filmed on (that work) and then all the rest that they sell to us as customers (that maybe or probably don't work).
Well, it turns out that the "Gunfighter" is in stock. I called back and they checked stock again. Didn't ask about the other versions though
review if it exists an rc me262
Nice job!!!
@Ispintechno1 That's probably because model companies will always choose the most famous colors, so they can attract more customers that way. At least, that's what I think.
hacen envíos internacionales??
@23mag23 Coming!
what did you say it cost? lee thanks
under $200
i wish i had pete's job getting paid to fly cool airplanes in california
@ClaritySWE Thanks!
my friend has one and we brought his out to his grandfather's plot of land and it ran out of battery in the air and the propellars broke going down a steep hill.
@startazz There are only so many aiplanes my friend. The p51 happens to be one of my favorites and none this size with these options as of yet. That is why we have decided to go with this Mustang. Sorry you do not approve.
