    In this vid I fly the P-51 and I don’t handle the rudder well enough during landing, causing the plane to crash into a fencepost.

      why no flaps landing ? The P-51 will land a lot better with full flaps and slight up trim with flaps down.

    That's very unfortunate, having a nice flight and initially seemingly uneventful landing, then still ending up with so much damage...

    Sorry guy I’ll say it. Your rudder is with your throttle, moves side to side. I have that same plane going on 10 years and lost count of flights. So what went wrong because all my warbirds which is all I fly, pull to the left, not the right. Or did you oversize the crap out of your engine like most do and completely throw off your wing loading?

      It may be part of your hobby but there are reasons for these unfortunate and I've seen him do this before I think this was pilot error at the end of this video he acknowledges that he's getting back into flying and that it's been a long hiatus he made the same mistake with his p-47

    Hate that for you Dan. Nice flight, for the most part. Question, do you fly at what used to be Stone Mountain Airport/ Britt Field? If so, I used to fly full scale there and was a coworker of Benny Britt at Piedmont Airlines at ATL in the mid '80s. Benny was an avionics tech and I was a line mechanic. I'm now in CLT with AA but remember Benny and those days fondly.

      Nice! Sure has grown up around there. I try to only come to ATL when absolutely necessary anymore. Still have family there but hey, it ain't what I left almost 40 years ago. I enjoy your videos. Completing a BlackHorse 93" A6M Zero in electric at present. Should be maidening soon.

    Dan if you review the video you gave the incorrect rudder, you gave right, about 1 or 2 seconds after touch down she's going slight right, towards the fence, then a little more, and then a noticeable hook to the right happens. It corresponds to your statement, of a little more and more and then a lot of left rudder,, which was the hook, but it was right rudder.. Your take off was fine because you were behind it on takeoff. So you need to practice rudder towards you a lot.

      Hi Jeff, I have to kindly disagree with you on giving incorrect rudder. I've used rudder for decades and I'm positive on this landing I was giving left rudder.

    Well damn that sucks. Is it possible to just get a new wing?

      Unfortunately they don't sell this anymore. I have to repair it.

    I have the same Moral you. Do repair the wing. Make sure you beef up the lightning gear. Because they have a very weak spot in the spar. Good luck with repair, please give us an up Yes very nice video

    I have the same Topflite Giant Mustang. It was a cool Mustang flight, but I'm sorry that there was a crash at the end. I hope the repair goes well.
